      @Adi Adiani I agree. Now, unless the higher frequency due to FCC regulations, has to be of a very low power, then range can be affected. Higher frequencies are more penetrating otherwise.

      It is a very penetrating frequency, now the power level it is not harmful when an FCC license was granted to it.

      I used TP-LINK Archer AC3200
      this router have tri_band:
      1. 4.5Ghz
      2. 5Ghz
      but my dual band smartphone just can detect 2 of it. (1)4.5Ghz with strength signal (2)just one low signal 5.GHz

    5 is for close range and better WiFi

    • @patrut
      @patrut 5 лет назад

      It is not well explained. both 2.4 and 5 channels have the same speed, each channel is 20 mhz. what makes 5 ghz faster is that you can aggregate channels that are none overlapping so that you can get a 40 (N), 80 (AC) and even 160mhz which you don't have in the 2.4. 5ghz is not new, it has been there for more than 10 years and widely available for home users for the last 6 years. To get the higher speed, your clients needs to support it as well, so you need to update your laptops/smart devices as well to the latest, it is not just getting a new router.

    Cautious note for people wanting to buy the recommended router in the descriptions link. The voltage is 110V AC. So if you’re in the UK for example where you need 230V, this won’t work and you’ll instantly damage the product as soon as you plug it in.

  • @junkerzn7312
    @junkerzn7312 5 лет назад +16

    One last thing to note... the 5 GHz band doesn't actually have 25 separate frequencies. What it has is 25 x 20 MHz bands. But wifi at 5 GHz is capable of ganging bands together. 802.11-n uses 40 MHz bands and there are only 12 channels. 802.11ac uses 80 MHz (6 channels) and 160 MHz (2 channels). In some countries (including the U.S.) additional channels are available. The 2.4 GHz band has a fourth non-overlapping channel (channel 14) and the 5 GHz band has a bunch more too. Some of the 5 GHz channels may be unusable due to radar also using those channels.
    The savings grace for the 5 GHz band is its low range. If you have nearly direct line of sight, the low range prevents other nearby routers from interfering with yours. So if you live in an apartment complex, for example, the 5 GHz band is virtually guaranteed to be superior to the 2.4 GHz band because the 2.4 GHz band will be filled up with all your neighbors wifi routers due to its longer range. But your neighbors 5 GHz routers won't have the same reach and are less likely to interfere with your 5 GHz.
    On the other-hand, if you live in a single-family home, 2.4 GHz can potentially cover the whole house without having to use relays, and your neighbors are far enough away that their 2.4 GHz won't interfere with yours.

    The only thing he didn’t point out is to not confuse the 5G router feature with the 5G cellphone data feature.
    Newer cellphones have both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi like the newest routers. But this has _nothing_ to do with so-called 5G data plans. There, 5G is kind of an arbitrary term simply meaning fifth generation cellular service.
    First generation was analog radio signals.
    Second generation switched to digital voice and data and allowed texting.
    Third generation (and the first called 3G) added higher speed digital data.
    Fourth generation added even higher data speeds.
    Fifth generation added still higher speeds.
    There’s some technical differences with each new generation too, but that’s the gist of it.

      @@PowerCertAnimatedVideos I had one question. I am using a secondary router as extender. Which is Tp-Linkw841 & my primary router is Asus RT-N56U. Now you know the wds bridge channel should be the number you have paired with primary ssid wifi. It was fine yesterday. But today I found that in Survey of my ssid on the tplink router has been changed. The channel number was 1& now it's 3. Is it ok?? By the way. on the settings I didn't set auto it was set to 1. But the survey option now shows it's 3.

    Great Video my guy!
    TLDR: if you are close to the router and you're not separated by walls, you want to use the 5Ghz. full stop.
    If you want to cover more distance and the signal has to pass through walls, 2.5Ghz might be a better choice, UNLESS, there are a lot of wireless devices around that could interfere with the 2.4Ghz signal, as it is a commonly used frequency on devices.

    The simple way to say it is this:
    2.4GHz - High Amplitude, slow frequency, so information is less in quantity but consistent and less lossy
    5GHz - Low Amplitude, High frequency, so a lot more information but very lossy due to energy dissipating fast

    Thank me later. 2.4GHz has a farther range and can go through solid objects although, it can be affected by things like a microwave or a house phone. 5GHz doesn’t get affected by anything and it has more no overlapping channels than the 2.4GHz but it has less range and it is harder for it to get through solid objects.

    We used to only have 2.4GHz. At that time, I don't know that there are such things as 2.4GHz and 5GHz. One stormy day, a lightning struck near our house and because of that, our router died. It is still plugged in the socket but it's not working at all but that socket is working just fine. So I plugged my router to a different socket but it's still not working. So my brother called for an assistance to our Wi-Fi provider. The guy who went to our house to fix it tried to fix our router but it didn't work. I explained to them what happened to our router and I said it's about the lightning. Good thing that the guy brought a new router, so he took our old router and replaced it with a new one. I thought he would charge fees but he didn't. So when I started connecting, I noticed two connections and it says 2.4GHz and 5GHz. So I tried to connect 5GHz and it was very fast but when I tried to go to my room, I lost connection but I still see the 2.4GHz in my Wi-Fi connections so I connected it and it has a very long range. So when I am in our living room I use 5GHz and when I am in my room, I use 2.4GHz.

      @@mouad6550 In my Wi-Fi settings, there are two options.
      For Example:
      PLDTHOMEFIBR13267
      PLDTHOMEFIBR5G13267
      I see both of them in my Wi-Fi connections. One of them is the 5GHz and the other is 2.4GHz. The 5GHz is obviously the "PLDTHOMEFIBR5G13267" because it has "5G" in it. So if you want to change from 5GHz to 2.4GHz, you need to change your wifi connection and connect it to the other connection which is the "PLDTHOMEFIBR13267". Both of them have the same password on mine. Some Wi-Fi names have 2.4 in them. If you want to switch the connection instantly, make sure that you already entered the password. Usually, when I go away, the 5GHz will disconnect and the 2.4GHz will connect because 5GHz has a low range. I don't know if this will work for you because my router could be different to yours. Ask your Wi-Fi provider if you need further help and assistance.
