Is 5G Wi-Fi or cellular?

To break it down simply, “5G Wifi” technically called 5GHz (gigahertz) is a frequency band and 5G cellular refers to the word “generation.” Wifi has two frequencies, 2.4 GHz and 5GHz. 2.4 GHz is the default for most devices which causes the speed to decline but the availability throughout the house is better.28 Nis 2021

5G is a wireless communications technology that is a big step up in connectivity — some describe it as a quantum leap — from 4G. It can use any band of spectrum but thrives in the extremely high frequency (EHF) range of 30 to 300 GHz, compared to today’s cellphones that are in much lower bands.
