5 GHz

The 5 GHz frequency band is widely used in modern Wi-Fi networks, offering faster data transfer speeds and reduced interference compared to the crowded 2.4 GHz band. Supporting standards like Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), 5 GHz delivers smoother streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers. However, it has a shorter range and weaker wall penetration than 2.4 GHz. Ideal for high-density environments, 5 GHz provides stable connectivity where performance and low latency are priorities.
