What’s The Real Difference Between 2.4 Ghz And 5 Ghz? by Blastedholligan: 6:05pm On Feb 27, 2020 |
These numbers refer to two different “bands” that your Wi-Fi can use for its signal. The biggest difference between the two is speed. Under ideal conditions, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi will support up to 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps, depending on the class of the router. 5 GHz Wi-Fi will support up to 1300 Mbps. The longer waves used by the 2.4 GHz band are better suited to longer ranges and transmission through walls and solid objects. So it’s arguably better if you need better range on your devices or you have a lot of walls or other objects in the areas where you need coverage. However, because so many devices use the 2.4 GHz band, the resulting congestion can cause dropped connections and slower-than-expected speeds. The 5 GHz band is much less congested, which means you will likely get more stable connections. You’ll also see higher speeds. On the other hand, the shorter waves used by the 5 GHz band makes it less able to penetrate walls and solid objects. It’s also got a shorter effective range than the 2.4 GHz band.

vichaz10:I don't think so. But most new WiFi Routers have these two bands. Checking the device before purchasing can help. Many thanks to the OP for doing justice to the question |

ps3o: Aiit thanks and pls does using a 4g lte mifi with a 2.4ghz band means better network reception compared to the one received on a good 4g smartphone.. |

vichaz10:The signal receptor in MIFI will play better than that on most smartphones. Meanwhile, some phones which are manufactured since late last year can have the same broadcast as MiFi 1 Like |

My newly installed Panoramic WiFi Router has both bands. Only my phone (S10e) could detect and connect to the 5ghz band, while my laptop and Smart tv couldn't detect 5ghz, but only the 2.4ghz. |
