Like we saw in our first example, the biggest difference between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz is speed. Okay, let’s start with differences between 5 GHz Wi-Fi and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.

Which is right for you when and how to change frequency settings on your router. So, let’s find out what exactly is the difference between 5 GHz Wi-Fi and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. So, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz has more devices connected to it compared to 5 GHz? We’ll discuss all of these example in details. And if I switch to 5 GHz, you can see the number of devices is quite low. So, does Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz give you more range? Is that what I’m saying? Well, we will come to that too.Īnd the final thing I want to show you is, if I open my router web portal and see how many devices are connected to my 2.4 GHz, you can see there are a lot of them, like c200 which TP-Link security camera, there are some other cameras, microwave and MacBook and smartphone. Now, if I move away from the router and go outside in the garden, you can see, I can still connect to Batcave 2.4 GHz, and the transfer speed is quite low, around 20 Mbps, but if I try to connect to Batcave 5 GHz, well, it’s not showing up.

So, Wi-Fi 5 GHz offers more download speed? Is that what I’m saying? Well, we will come to that. Now, If I switch over to the Batcave which is 2.4 GHz network, and again do a speed test, you can see it’s much lower at just 30 to 40 Mbps transfer speed. Let’s do an internet speed test and, as you can see, it’s around 400-500 Mbps on a connection of 1 Gbps. I am standing next to my Wi-Fi router and my phone is connected to my Wi-Fi network Batcave with 5 GHz channel.
