In a nutshell, 5Ghz WiFi is faster but 2.4Ghz WiFi has a longer range. Okay, it’s a little more complicated than that. 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz are both frequencies upon which WiFi can be broadcast throughout your home. The 5Ghz frequency can support up to 1Gbps of throughput whereas 2.4Ghz supports up to 600Mbps.
