I learned that lesson moving to gigabit fiber where my access points were able to operate as designed delivering between 250-650 Mbps.
My garage system has always been bandwidth bound. Didn't work at all in semi-attached location without placing an access point there. Nor did our security camera for that matter. And still required that I supplement the RPi3's internal WiFi with an external unit. For many years, I was getting only about 20-30 Mbps in that space. Experienced occasional buffering with even 96/24 content when first selected.
After replacing the access point with a faster multi channel one used previously for work, I was now getting about 250 Mbps. Discovered that I no longer needed the external USB antenna on the RPi for sustained 192/24 content. Non issue now.
Using new, high bandwidth access point(s) or mesh systems should work just fine for most content.
