Pros and cons for 5G and Wi-Fi 6 (The Daily SUPERCharge, 8/28/2019) Aug 28, 2019

Show notes

*CORRECTION: After recording the show, Scott learned from Fitbit that it turns out the Versa 2 CANNOT do offline Spotify playback. We found this out after realizing it was not reported on in its press release. It only acts as a remote for the phone app, which is a 'non feature.' Be on the lookout for Scott Stein's full detailed hands-on review of the Fitbit Versa 2 coming soon on CNET.com

We're talking short range, long range, routers and futureproofing.
