The reason 6Ghz was introduced with WiFi 6E and 7 was because 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz was very busy.

My question is why isn’t there anything in between? Why isn’t there a 3Ghz, 3.5Ghz, 4Ghz, etc?

Also, what if things that require very little data transmission used something lower than 2.4Ghz for longer range? (1Ghz or something?)

    Not like commercial AM/FM radio stations playing music, but radio in the more general sense. 5G cell phones and satellite-to-earth communication systems use that frequency range, for example.

      makes sense, using WiFi with those frequencies would make it noisy and clogged up, esp. in crowded cities
