Note-
The characteristics of radio waves are such that 2.4 GHz radio waves reach farther than 5 GHz radio waves. However, if there is congestion or a microwave nearby, the radio waves may be influenced. In particular, 5 GHz radio waves do not travel very far if there are obstacles. However, 5 GHz allows setting a wider band in which radio waves can be used, so if the signal is strong, this will tend to lead to high speed.
