Recently, more and more products equipped with the new generation of Wi-Fi 6 technology have made the topic of Wi-Fi more and more popular.

Many people know that the upgrade of the Wi-Fi I protocol can increase our Wi-Fi network speed, but in fact there are two important parameters in the Wi-Fi network that can also affect the network speed, and they are 2.4G and 5G frequency bands.

Before talking about the 2.4G and 5G frequency bands, let’s briefly understand the types of Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi Alliance renamed Wi-Fi before. The 802.11ax protocol is Wi-Fi 6.802.11ac or Wi-Fi 5.802.11n The protocol is Wi-Fi 4.

There is also 5G in the communication network, which is also the fifth-generation mobile communication technology we have talked about in the past two years.

The 5G in Wi-Fi is not a communication technology, nor does it refer to the 5th generation Wi-Fi technology. It is a wireless technology produced under the WIFI 5 standard before, and has its own unit GHz.

2.4G is the same, it is a wireless technology produced under the 802.11b standard.

Currently, Wi-Fi 6 can support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands, while Wi-Fi 5 only supports 5G frequency bands, and Wi-Fi 4 only supports 2.4G frequency bands.

Our current mainstream routers use both Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4 technologies, so you can adjust between 2.4G and 5G frequency bands.

There is also a difference between the 2.4G and 5G frequency bands. The 2.4G frequency band has a better signal than the 5G frequency band and has a stronger ability to penetrate walls. If your router is in another room, it is recommended to adjust to the 2.4G frequency band.

The 5G frequency band has less interference and is faster than the 2.4G frequency band. The disadvantage is that the ability to pass through walls is not good. If the router is in the same room as you, it is recommended to adjust to the 5G frequency band.
