Gremlin Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 So I have the above router for about 2 years approx.. Looking for suggestion.. Currently i have both 2.4 and 5 setup for Wifi.. Is it worth it just using 2.4? Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I prefer the 5GHz band over the 2.4GHz band, but you have an 802.11ac, which allows you to use both bands (but on separate wi-fi networks). The 5GHz band is stronger and faster, but more like a beam signal, so you won't have as much distance over the 2.4GHz band, and you won't be able to pass the signal through objects as well as the 2.4GHz band. There's no point to switch to one or the other if you have the option for both. Edited July 21, 2014 by El_Capitan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
