Game freezes? Beware of using the wrong WiFi band in your home

2022.10.02

When I use WiFi to play games at home, I always get stuck? Obviously, my home broadband is 500M, or it is a mainstream commercially available wireless router. This kind of problem should not occur! In fact, this problem really lies in the router. Friends who use WiFi to play games at home may wish to try the following tricks to improve their network.


Play games smoothly and WiFi is not stuck

First of all, let's see if the SSiD of the mobile phone connected to WiFi has a "5G" or "5GHz" suffix. This is because the WiFi of some wireless routers has the "dual frequency integration" function enabled by default, which automatically allocates frequency bands to users. There is a lag when playing games on WiFi.


Turn off the "dual frequency in one" function

To solve this problem, you need to turn off the "dual-band integration" function in the "Wireless Settings" function of the router's management background, so that the 2.4GHz band and the 5GHz band WiFi are displayed independently. Then, connect to the 5GHz band when watching videos, snapping up, playing games and other behaviors that have certain requirements for internet speed. If you need to surf the Internet over a long distance or through the wall, select the 2.4GHz frequency band.


2.4GHz frequency band interference is serious

The 2.4GHz frequency band has also highlighted many disadvantages. In today's daily life, more and more wireless devices appear in our hands, such as wireless mice, wireless keyboards and even remote switches for some home appliances, all of which work in the 2.4GHz frequency band. In addition, the wireless routers of the surrounding neighbors also turn on the 2.4GHz frequency band by default, which makes the congestion problem of the 2.4GHz frequency band more and more serious. Therefore, when using a wireless router working in the 2.4GHz frequency band, we will often find problems such as poor wireless signal, network freezes, and frequent disconnections.

5GHz band with higher bandwidth and faster speed

Compared with the 2.4GHz frequency band, the 5GHz frequency band x has 22 non-interfering channels, which greatly exceeds the number of non-interfering channels in the 2.4GHz frequency band. Just like a highway with only 3 lanes and a highway with 22 lanes, which one is more unobstructed is self-evident. 5GHz's fast transmission, less interference and noise, allows users to get a more advanced network experience.
