Comcast advertising “10G” in hopes to confuse consumers to accept slower speeds::Comcast says Xfinity offers 10G home internet, but the term "10G" is hazy and potentially misleading—especially because it has no relation to 5G for cell phones.

I know I have a 5.9GHz horn, might have to make a lower freq one to test out the 2.4GHz range. Or go poor boy and run the end of a cable (N type is my goto) around the seals.

I do know its in cell phone range because we used to put out phones in the microwave when we were oncall and did want to go in. Poor mans Faraday cage.

And I wouldnt trust the seal, I have run a Narda of ours and its hands down the leakiest device/waveguide junction/etc around next to standing in the beam path.
