You're right, it should solve the issue, however, there are a couple things at play: 1. If you have a newer wifi AP that supports 5ghz, it might allow you to create a separate SSID for 5ghz, which is great, because now you can specify which network you want to connect to, and can choose the 5ghz. band to avoid this interference. Some routers don't let you specify, and use the same SSID for both bands, which means you can't really tell what you're connecting to. 2. Unfortunately, 5ghz. has a shorter range, so it will be less reliable in large houses, or where coverage is weak.
