+==== Which WiFi network to choose? ====
+We offer several WiFi networks on our infrastructure to choose from:
+^ Name (SSID)       ^ 2.4 GHz  ^ 5 GHz    ^ Enterprise network (802.1X)  ^ Fast roaming (802.11r)  ^ Note                                                   ^
+| **Sincoolka FT**  | **Yes**  | **Yes**  | **Yes**                      | **Yes**                 | **Prefer this network for modern devices**             |
+| Sincoolka         | Yes      | Yes      | Yes                          | No                      | For old devices experiencing issues with fast roaming  |
+| Sincoolka 5G      | No       | Yes      | Yes                          | No                      | For devices needlessly preferring the 2.4GHz band      |
+| Sincoolka IoT     | Yes      | Yes      | No                           | No                      | For very old or cheap IoT devices                      |
+Regarding speed and latency, there is no difference between these networks. The Sincoolka 5G network is not faster than any other network and it's name is completely unrelated to mobile telephone networks!

+(as in, people have tried to get them to work and failed, usually because they don't support enterprise networks)
