What does 5G mean for Wi-Fi?

3G is currently the more reliable between the two as cellular networks are up close to 100% of the time. They are also not affected by power failures or cut connections as most cellular companies have provisions or backups for these situations.

5G is the fifth generation of cellular networks , and it is expected to be one of the fastest wireless technologies ever created. (This is not to be confused with the 5G that you may see on your Wi-Fi router, which is referring to 5 GHz frequency for your internet network.)

In general, the difference between 2.4GHz and 5GHz boils down to wireless range vs. speed. If you want better range, use 2.4 GHz . If you need higher performance or speed, use the 5GHz band.
