Yes, my wireless router has "5G WiFi" but only does 4G. I didn't have a choice about using it since it comes from the provider, but still stupid.

- catlifeonmars 6mo agoWhat is 5G WiFi? Do you mean 5Ghz WiFi?
- guerrilla 6mo agoIt's nothing. It's just made up deceptive marketing terms. That's my point.
- estimator7292 6mo ago5G and 4G are not terms applied to WiFi. We have 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax and WiFi6/7 WiFi operates in the 2.4, 5, 6GHz bands, but those frequency bands are not used to differentiate WiFi standards because you can mix and match WiFi 6/7 on all three bands. There are also more WiFi bands below 2.4 and above 6GHz, but they're not common worldwide.
- antonvs 6mo ago> 5G and 4G are not terms applied to WiFi. Tell that to Netgear, AT&T and several other Wifi hub manufacturers. The default SSIDs on many hubs are names like “NETGEAR23” and NETGEAR23-5G”.
- guerrilla 6mo agoI know that, but you misunderstand. This is a 4G model and WiFi router in one. The company that made it is pretending there's something called "5G WiFi" though.
