I have a Deco M5 and E5 at home in a two-person home with an internet speed of 100Mbps that has never felt limited. Total devices are about 15 at the most:

• 2 laptops, 2 phones, 2 smart watches: 6
• Apple TV, iPad: 2
• Sonos Speakers: 3
• IoT devices like 2 purifiers, air sensors etc: 4
• Total: 15

Our peak usage would probably be simultaneous 4K streaming on the Apple TV and YouTube on a laptop simultaneously. That's it.

Was getting my dad new routers (in a home that's even less device-dense than mine) and I began wondering if I should get WiFi 6 for myself and give him my routers.

But I can't possibly need Wifi 6 with my setup right? Sounds like my peak load is 5 devices (laptop, TV, sonos speakers, phone) consuming well under 100Mbps at any point? Even total device count doesn't seem to be at levels where WiFi 6 may be needed? I notice minor performance issues at times - like perhaps some latency / response time issues but I'm guessing that's more to do with my ISP device being the router and my Decos being in Access Point mode, than with their WiFi 5 capabilities, right?

What am I missing?

Posted last week about charging being throttled on the S25 Ultra. After upgrading to One UI 8.5, I see no change. Getting 14W, despite:

• Being on 16% battery
• Using a 100W USB-PD and PPS cable
• Using a 160W Anker Prime GaN Charger
• Charging in a room with the termostat set to 24 C.

Goes up to 34W at times but why am I not hitting a minimum of 45W for any battery SoC below 50%?

Planning a US trip for two in September - Delhi to New York first, and returning from SF back to Delhi.

Seeing poor points value on redemptions though - like:

1. I need 80k avios points for Delhi to New York on Qatar, for a ticket costing 1.3L - that's about 1.5 inr/pt.

2. SF to Delhi on United costs 128k miles using KrisFlyer - for tickets worth 1.3L - that's 1 inr/pt. Any other airline also pretty much works out to be 1 inr/pt - like Virgin, Qatar even less so. Emirates has too many taxes to make it worth it.

I'm using to Accor delivering 2.1 inr/pt and would like to redeem at close to that as possible. 1 inr/pt seems to be my ceiling, at least on the return.

Any advice?

My S25 Ultra is reducing charging speed to 15w very early in its charging curve - like right around 30%. It then maintains this wattage all the way to 80%. If I disconnect and clean the ports a little, I get a momentary burst to 40w for a few mins before it drops again.

Anyone else facing this issue? Is there a fix?

Using a 160w gan charger for my S25 Ultra so there's def no shortage of power capacity at source.
