A 2.4 GHz connection travels farther at lower speeds, while 5 GHz frequencies provide faster speeds at shorter range . Your choice of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz will depend on where and how you use your WiFi connection most.
Read moreWhy is 5G so slow on WiFi?
A 5GHz wireless LAN will almost always be slower than 2.4 GHz – the 5GHz frequencies are subject to greater attenuation so that you end up with a weaker signal at the same distance. Given the same levels of noise, a weaker signal results in a lower SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and a lower quality connetcion.

If your mobile is connected to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi then you cannot get more than 50 Mbps Speed . Only a 5 GHz signal will be able to provide you with the high speed connection.
Read moreWhy is 2.4 GHz so slow?
Cause 2: Not “Steering” Clear of the 2.4 GHz Band All too often, the culprit of slow Wi-Fi is use of the 2.4 GHz band, which offers slower data rates and is often oversaturated with Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi devices, like microwave or baby monitors.
