Modern wireless routers often have two or more Wi-Fi signals: one in the 2.4 GHz band and one in the 5 GHz band.

2.4 GHz connections generally offer broader coverage, but they process data less quickly than 5 GHz connections. 2.4 GHz is also the frequency on which many household devices and most Wi-Fi routers operate so are crowded, even from neighbors. .
Routers that use a 5 GHz connection are faster, but their signal covers a shorter range than 2.4 GHz bands.

In addition to faster speeds, the 5 GHz band may be less crowded by neighboring Wi-Fi networks and offer more stable connections.
Consider dedicating the 5 GHz network on your router to your most important uses, such as work or school.
