that must have taken a long time.
bluetooth 5 doesn't count and those speeds are theoretical anyway.
actual throughput is worse.

HOW LONG WILL YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR BLUETOOTH 5 GADGETS?
Likely until early 2018. Companies havenąt started building devices
that support Bluetooth 5 yet, because the Galaxy S8 is the only phone
that currently supports the standard. But that will begin to change
over the next few months.

Most notably I was able to clear up the huge confusion around the
ideas that Bluetooth 5 offers 4 times the range and twice the speed.
In fact it turns out that Bluetooth 5 does offer (almost) twice the
throughput when the two communicating devices are close to each
other, but towards the edge of the possible range I demonstrated that
Bluetooth 5 has the same throughput as Bluetooth 4.
meanwhile, 802.11ac has a theoretical maximum of 7 *gigabit*, which is
over two orders of magnitude faster.
real world speeds will be less (especially without wave 2) but it's
still way the hell faster than bluetooth ever will be.

802.11ac will only get faster, too. As we mentioned earlier, the
theoretical max speed of 802.11ac is just shy of 7Gbps ‹ and while
youąll never hit that in a real-world scenario, we wouldnąt be
surprised to see link speeds of 2Gbps or more in the next few years.
At 2Gbps, youąll get a transfer rate of 256MB/sec, and suddenly
Ethernet serves less and less purpose if that happens. To reach such
speeds, chipset and device makers will need to implement four or more
802.11ac streams, both in terms of software and hardware.
what takes a few seconds over wifi would take *minutes* over bluetooth.

only because you're using an obsolete 802.11g wifi router, and/or
something is *horribly* misconfigured.
don't assume that your super-shitty wifi is how it is for everyone else.
i get roughly gigabit speeds over wifi (just under 900 mbit).

again, *why* is there no lan???
it's been established that there isn't a lan. i want to know *why*
there isn't one.

i'm not making anything up.
why do you argue?
