The 2.4 GHz signal can travel farther, but it experiences a lot of interference from other devices and as a result you're loosing a lot of speed. The 5 GHz signal doesn't travel as far, but there is virtually no interference and no drop of speed. I have a dual band router that supports both frequencies. The built-in wireless adapter in my laptop only sees the 2.4 GHz networks, and I was getting at best 40% of the advertised speed through Wi-Fi, and I had to constantly change the channels in the router settings. The speed was never constant and always fluctuating. One day I got fed up with it and purchased a USB Wi-Fi adapter that supports the 5 GHz frequency. Now I am consistently getting 100% of the advertised speed via Wi-Fi with no loss of signal whatsoever. There is no difference between the speed I get via Wi-Fi and the speed I get when I connect my laptop to the router with an ethernet cable. Here is the adapter I am using, if anyone is interested: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FW6T36Y. |
