The overwhelming issues with WiFi are

1. It is slow to connect, taking multiple seconds rather than a few milliseconds. (Wifi unreliability would have much less practical impact if there was rapid reconnect.)

2. The lack of a sufficiently flexible standard interface for logging in and accepting terms, leading to the terrible captive portal workaround.

I cannot for the life of me understand why the standards committee cares much about various other minor improvements when these issues are still unsolved after two decades. (Similar complaints can be made about Bluetooth.)
