2.4GHz VS 5GHz
Últimas actualizaciones hace 6 años
In a nutshell, the 2.4GHz band gives you longer range, whereas the 5GHz band offers more channels that are less likely to be polluted with interference. Apple Products will also pick 5GHz even if it is slower then 2.4GHz were as android will normally change between the two. The more interference and further you are away from the router 2.4GHz normally will work better for you. Best to do a speed test where you normally use the system to see what works best for you.
802.11n - 600 Mbps (2.4GHz and 5 GHz) - 150Mbps typical for network adapters, 300Mbps, 450Mbps, and 600Mbps speeds when bonding channels with some routers
802.11ac - 1300+Mbps (5 GHz) - newer standard that uses wider channels, QAM and spatial streams for higher throughput
Actual wireless speeds vary significantly from the above theoretical maximum speeds due to: distance - distance from the access point, as well as any physical obstructions, such as walls, signal-blocking or reflecting materials affect signal propagation and reduce speed interference - other wireless networks and devices in the same frequency in the same area affect performance shared bandwidth - available bandwidth is shared between all users on the same wireless network.
