2.4GHz vs 5GHz WiFi | What Is The Difference?

Eric explains 2.4GHz vs 5GHz WiFi | What Is The Difference?
Some routers provide two different Wi-Fi networks.
2.4 GHz represents one frequency
5 GHz represents a separate frequency
A single router can provide one Wi-Fi network on each frequency.
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks tend to go through walls better and travel greater distances.
5 GHz Wi-Fi networks tend to be faster.
Routers that allow you to switch between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies are called dual band routers.
Routers that provide two networks at once are called simultaneous dual band routers.
Not all wireless devices support both bands.
It's possible for the 5 GHz band to be disabled on either your smartphone or on the router. if you cannot see this network this is one possibility that can explain why.
Your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network will have its own Wi-Fi name and password that is separate from the 5 GHz Wi-Fi name and password.
Each band has its pros and cons. They will suit everybody's needs differently.

Reasons why your 5 GHz Wi-Fi is not showing:

2. it's disabled on the router
3. your Wi-Fi device doesn't support 5ghz

Best youtube channel.

Great channel. Useful info. If u could delve into router settings that’d be great. I’ve just bought a gaming router and 90% of the settings I have no use for or knowledge of. Currently struggling with setting a static IP.

ASUS RT-AC68U btw.

I just purchased this router. Give me a few days for it to arrive and I'll make a video walking through all the settings. 👍 If there is anything specific you'd like to know please post it here and I'll try my best to include it in the video. Otherwise my plan is to just log in and go through all the pages and explain as much as I can.

When you say you're struggling with setting a static IP, do you mean assigning a public IP to your router from your ISP? "Assigning a static IP" can be interpreted as multiple things.

@@HomeNetworkCentral awesome, thanks a lot :D! Urm: IPV6 - should I turn it on? Google says not worth it for home user but what do u think? Assigning static ip and dns in wifi assigned ip for gaming pc - worth doing or cause more issues than it’s worth? DHCP - what even haha. That’s about all I’m struggling with :). Thank you!!

[@HomeNetworkCentral]

As for IPv6... don't bother. :) As for the DHCP stuff, I hope this will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnK8pH2rd9qDlcU
