2.4 GHz, 5 GHz

What is 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency?

2.4 GHz and 5 GHz refer to the frequency bands used by Wi-Fi routers and other wireless devices to transmit data wirelessly.

The 2.4 GHz frequency band is the most commonly used band for Wi-Fi networks. It is used by many household appliances and other electronic devices, which can cause interference and congestion on the network. However, it has a longer range and can better penetrate walls and other obstacles, making it ideal for use in larger homes or areas with a lot of interference. The 5 GHz frequency band is less crowded than the 2.4 GHz band and offers faster data transfer rates, but it has a shorter range and is more easily blocked by walls and other obstacles. The 5 GHz band is ideal for use in smaller homes or areas where interference is minimal. Many modern Wi-Fi routers and devices support both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, which allows them to switch between the bands depending on the signal strength and congestion levels. This is known as dual-band Wi-Fi, and it provides a more reliable and faster wireless connection for devices that support it.
