All modern Wi-Fi devices support 2.4 GHz connections, while some equipment supports both.
Homebroadband routersthat feature both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios are calleddual-band wirelessrouters.
An important distinction to make is between a Wi-Fi internet and a mobile phone’s wireless internet.

This doesn’t cover mobile networking technology for smartphones and other devices.
GHz and data pipe Speed
Wi-Fi networking comes in a few varieties.
TheseWi-Fi standardsdefine improvements in networking technology.
5 GHz radios support higher maximum data rates in connection standards802.11n,802.11ac, and 802.11ad.
GHz and web link Range
The higher the frequency of a wireless signal, the shorter itsrange.
2.4 GHz wireless networks, therefore, cover a larger range than 5 GHz networks.
Because this frequency range is commonly used in consumer products, it’s become saturated with signals.
This can slow down and interrupt Wi-Fi web connection speed in these cases.
This is because 5 GHz home routers became available after routers that use 2.4 GHz radios.
Both types of signaling have existed for many years and are both proven technologies.
However, without these limitations, 5 GHz will likely be a faster choice.
This is an emerging preferred solution for home networking.
