Specify the frequency of wireless LAN

The wireless LAN used on a daily basis can be selected from two types, 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band.The 2.4GHz band is resistant to obstacles such as walls, and the 5GHz band has the advantage of being weak in obstacles, but can achieve high -speed communication (with less interference).

Many wireless LAN routers can be selected as an access point setting, but there is also a method of enabling only specific frequencies according to each characteristics.However, the wireless LAN itself has versatility, and it is smart to choose where to connect on the device.Windows 10 has a function that can prefer either 2.4GHz band/5GHz band.

5GHz band if the radio wave condition of the wireless LAN is good and high -speed network access can be expected.If there is an obstacle and the instability is remarkable, select the 2.4GHz band.However, if you have many opportunities to access public wireless LANs on the go or co -working space, it is better to choose to switch according to the type of access point, such as "no priority" or "automatic".
