What is the difference between 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi?
The primary differences between the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz wireless frequencies are range and bandwidth. 5GHz provides faster data rates at a shorter distance, whereas 2.4GHz offers coverage for farther distances, but may perform at slower speeds. This article describes the differences between 2.4 GHz and 5GHz frequencies, and offers suggestions for choosing the frequency that is best for your situation.
Range (how far your data can travel):
In most cases, the higher the frequency of a wireless signal, the shorter its range, or how far your data can travel, will be. The biggest reason for this is that higher frequency signals cannot penetrate solid objects like walls and floors as well as lower frequency signals. Thus, the 2.4 GHz has a farther range than the 5 GHz frequency.
Bandwidth (speed):
Higher frequencies allow faster transmission of data, also known as bandwidth. Higher bandwidth means that files will download and upload faster, and high-bandwidth applications such as streaming video will perform much smoother and faster. Therefore, the 5GHz with its higher bandwidth will provide much faster data connections than 2.4 GHz.
Interference:
Many devices only use the 2.4 GHz frequency, and these devices are all attempting to use the same “radio space” which can cause overcrowding of the channels. The 5GHz band has 23 available channels for devices to use vs. the 3 available on the 2.4 GHz band.
Overcrowding and interference can cause slower speeds and intermittent connectivity issues. Some examples of devices that can cause interference:
• Microwaves
• Cordless phones
• Baby monitors
• Garage door openers
So, which should you choose, 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz?
• If faster speeds are most important to you, 5GHz is usually a better choice than 2.4 GHz.
• If wireless range is more important to you, 2.4 GHz is usually a better choice than 5 GHz.

Using Wi-Fi 5G when this app tested for it and then your app said that the phone Wi-Fi was not capable so unreliable to a fault I put only one star then moved it to 4 because there is obviously something amiss so ill trust in you to get it fixed then rty again in a month, or so good luck you can do it.

Learning electric magnitude in my bedroom @3:05a.m. may-be possi;ly on floor with possible electrical 'currents to live-electric lines from where I am sitting on the back bedroom floorlegnth of feet all the way up to butt sitting on floor with direct area where I sat earlier today with a slight off-nessseating imprint.
★★☆☆☆
If your device doesn't support 5G this app does not work
★★☆☆☆
I find this app useless. It only displays details about the phone,e.g. model, type,manufacturer e.t.c. In terms of Wi-Fi band selection, it does nothing other than tell you it's not supported!
★★☆☆☆
What a useless fake app, don't ever download this app to avoid giving the fraud developer some cash. 😏
★★☆☆☆
I want an application which support 5G Wi-Fi connection because my phone isn't supporting this type of connection not an application that tell me to that my phone is not supporting...
