- errantspark 10y agoWhat's wrong with 2.4Ghz?
- elcct 10y agoI find 5Ghz to be more reliable - perhaps because it is not as congested as 2.4
- wyager 10y ago5GHz performance is vastly better in urban areas. There are 26 networks visible from my apartment (in a small 2-story apartment building), and the 2.4GHz WiFi spectrum effectively has only 3 channels (due to substantial overlap, only channels 1, 6, and 11 are normally used). So you're sharing a lot of bandwidth with your neighbors. 5GHz has much better spacing (so less interference) and more total bandwidth.
- snovv_crash 10y ago5GHz also attenuates significantly through walls, so even if your neighbour is on the same channel you won't be getting as much interference.
