![]() When coverage starts getting worse for the 5 GHz, but not the 2.4 GHz, you may want to switch to 2.4 GHz for battery reasons. If you have good 5 GHz coverage and 2.4 GHz coverage in the same area, using 5 GHz is likely as good (if not a bit better) as it will pull faster, then wind down vs. So, if I get 3 bars of 2.4 GHz in the furthest away part of the house (the upstairs bedroom) but only 1 bar at 5 GHz, my phone will likely have more trouble keeping in touch with the access point and that translates to more packets exchanged, a slower throughput (and that means more on-time for your 5 GHz radio and the system generally), and this will burn more battery. Objects (depending on material) can obstruct 5 GHz more than 2.4 GHz (sometimes not depending on material). 2.4 GHz, a lot depends on the coverage you are in with respect to each frequency band.ĥ GHz (for the same power) lacks the range of 2.4 GHz. ![]() ![]() The coverage issue will have something to do with power usage.
