The 5G in your router stands for 5 Gigahertz.
you're right, i mistook the 2.
But what i said about the limitations of 5g is still true.
More or less 5G would be like having a 4G Celltower antenna mounted to every lamp post,.
Another thing.. There are houses of which the inside walls are made of flimpsy multiplex wood which have been painted or something.
Thats obviously not a solid wall.
The reason why they want to put that many towers up, is because as i said before in regards to the limitations, it has poor penetration.

Obstacles
Millimeter waves open up more spectrum but until recently few electronic components were able to generate or receive millimeter waves, so the spectrum remained unused.
Generating and receiving millimeter waves is a challenge, but the biggest and most challenging factor with these high frequencies is the travelling media. Poor foliage penetration has been observed but the biggest challenges are atmospheric and free-space path loss.
Millimeter waves are governed by the same physics as the rest of the radio spectrum and as such, they have limitations related to their wavelength. The shorter the wavelength, the shorter the transmission range for a given power.
Let’s recall some signal properties remain constant, regardless of factors like antenna gain at the transmission and receiver, or reflection, absorption and diffraction during the signal transmission.[4]
· Free space loss – The free space loss in dB is calculated with:
L(Transmission loss) = 92.4 + 20log(f) + 20log(R)
· Atmospheric absorption – The atmosphere absorbs millimeter waves, thus restricting their transmission range. Rain, fog, and moisture in the air make the signal attenuation very high. Oxygen (O2) absorption is especially high at 60 GHz.
· Mechanical resonance – The mechanical resonance frequencies of gaseous molecules also coincide with the millimeter wave signal. For current technology, the important absorption peaks occur at 24 and 60 GHz.
· Scattering – Millimeter wave propagation is also affected by rain. Raindrops are roughly the same size as the radio wavelengths and therefore cause scattering of the signal.
· Non-line of sight issues – When a line-of-sight path between transmitter and receiver isn’t present, the travelling signal still has alternative ways to reach the receiver, be it through diffraction, reflection or bending. Diffraction in millimeter waves is scarce due to the short wavelengths.
· Brightness temperature – When millimeter waves are subjected to absorption by water vapor, oxygen and rain, these molecules absorb high frequency electromagnetic radiation. This absorption subsequently leads the molecules to emit higher frequency EM radiation (closer to the infrared spectrum). This energy emission, when received by a receiver antenna, is called brightness temperature and it degrades system performance. Any Earth-based antenna aimed at a satellite with a high elevation angle, for example, will suffer signal degradation caused by picking up brightness temperature emanating from atmospheric constituents.
There was an test done regarding the penetration to human skin, and it doesn't penetrate far, 90% is said to be absorbed by the 2 out of the 3 layers of the skin, and i'm pretty sure with a strong AOP you'll be fine.

but using Millimeter waves (the tech they use as 'non-lethal' weapons for crowd control and war)
Using MM waves for this?
they've got far better tech, remember that fire that happened sometime ago where entire concrete buildings were melted down? there was speculation that lazer weapons were employed and it seems highly probable that it was lazer weaponry.
i'm sure it won't take much to make a more non-lethal version of that and fly it over.
when digital technological advancements are made the medium of data transference also needs to be increased, if this wasn't the case we'd still be using phone lines for internet.
