WLAN5G

WLAN5G refers to wireless local area network (WLAN) technology operating in the 5 GHz frequency band. This is distinct from the 2.4 GHz band commonly used by older Wi-Fi standards. The 5 GHz band offers several advantages, including a larger number of available channels and less interference from other devices like microwaves and Bluetooth. This generally leads to faster data transmission speeds and lower latency, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications such as streaming high-definition video and online gaming.

However, 5 GHz signals have a shorter range and are less effective at penetrating solid objects like walls compared to 2.4 GHz signals. This means that while 5 GHz can be faster, it might not provide as robust a connection throughout a large building. Many modern Wi-Fi routers are dual-band, supporting both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, allowing users to choose the band that best suits their needs based on proximity and desired performance. The transition to 5 GHz adoption has been driven by increasing demand for faster wireless connectivity and the limitations of the crowded 2.4 GHz spectrum.
