Ever feel like your Wi-Fi is stuck in molasses? It might be getting bogged down by interference! See, your Wi-Fi signal shares the 2.4 GHz band with a bunch of other devices, like microwaves and Bluetooth speakers. All that traffic can slow things down and make your connection spotty.
But there’s a solution! Many routers offer a 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Think of it as a special express lane for your internet traffic. It’s less crowded than the 2.4 GHz band, so you get faster speeds and a smoother connection. Plus, it’s less likely to be interrupted by your neighbor’s late-night microwave burrito cravings.
There’s a catch, though. The 5 GHz band has a shorter range than the 2.4 GHz band. So, if your house is a Wi-Fi mansion, you might need a range extender to reach all the corners. But for most homes and apartments, the speed boost of 5 GHz is totally worth it.
