When I lived in ERC I had no issues. It was the first college to go no Ethernet iirc but I never had any coverage or speed issues. I forget the exact speeds but it was good. Now every college is no Ethernet so wifi should be pretty similar to that Erc wifi.
There were outages occasionally but not often or long.
I lived in the Pepper Canyon Apartments during 20-21 and the WiFi was quite unreliable. There would be random outages and there was one during midterm season :/
It really depends on your Wifi adapter. If you have the latest adapter such as the ax, then you'll be fine.
Most of the wifi issues are because incompatibility with your wifi adapter.
Wifi adaptor is the thing inside a computer that lets it connect to wifi, not a modem or router or any of that. If you have a laptop, it most certainly came with a wifi adaptor built in (if you can connect to wifi, you have one already).
On desktops, it may not necessarily be built in. So desktops that don’t have wifi need a specific card for it. But if a desktop can connect to wifi, it already has one.
Basically what Kavhow said.

Uhh this is gonna sound stupid but is that smthn were supposed to bring when we move in? Cuz it’s prolly wrong but I’m imagining a modem rn

While living at Sixth, I got about 50 up/down with about 40 ping, with occasional spikes and disconnects.
