Is 5gHz wifi a meme?
Is 5gHz wifi a meme?

When I last tested it (which was a while ago to be fair, maybe newer modems are better) you basically had to have line-of-sight between the devices to get an improvement over 2.4.
If you do have line-of-sight to your router then go for it.

5G will kill us all and that's a good thing
Joseph Wilson
Op are you from the past?
William Evans
No, there is no other way I can fully use my gigabit through WiFi over 2.4
And reception depends on both devices. Get a nice AP (they are not cheap tho) and a WiFi card or phone that's almost decent and you are set

5g will give us cancer since it will cause microheating in our dna
Gavin Sanchez
It is. I only have good reception in straight lines when my phone sees antennas. one brick wall makes the signal go down by half
I know 2,4ghz has better penetration but then again I am not that far behind that wall
Only devices with ac are phones so they got a bump in dl speeds of course and 2,4 got less crowded by 2 clients. I cant set my router to channel 14 on 2,4 and I cant setup open wrt sooo yeah, quite pointless update for me

my sister lives in the suburbs.
not even in an apartment and the 2.4ghz spectrum is so choked up that she has problem connecting to her router downstairs.
when i scan just for wifi i can scroll through a giant list of wifi routers that operate in the 2.4ghz frequency.

Wrong thread? That's 5G not 5GHz wifi band
