WiFi uses radio spectrum — spectrum is shared

WiFi operates in unlicensed radio bands — anyone can use them, which means everyone does. The result: interference from neighbors, microwaves, Bluetooth, and legacy devices all fighting over the same spectrum.

Different frequency bands offer different trade-offs between range, speed, and congestion.
