5G router refers to the operating frequency of the router is 5Ghz, which is 5000Mhz.

At present, our routers may have two working frequency bands, both of which are unlicensed spectrum, one is 2.4Ghz and the other is 5Ghz. The high-frequency 5Ghz can currently support the 802.11ac protocol, and can achieve a download speed of 433.3Mbps on the usual single-channel wifi terminal.

However, the high-frequency 5G router wifi penetration attenuation is relatively large. Usually, the signal attenuation is very severe when a load-bearing wall is penetrated. Therefore, if you want to have a good experience using 5G wifi, you still need to be in the same room as the router.

The 5G of mobile phones refers to the fifth generation of mobile communication technology, and this G is the English abbreviation of generation. At present, our mobile phones have passed the 1G/2G/3G/4G era, and the upcoming communication network standard is the 5th generation mobile communication technology.

The difference between router wifi 2.4G and router wifi 5G

There are two types of wifi, one is 2.4G wifi and the other is 5G wifi. Most of the wifi used in the past supports the IEEE 802.11n (fourth generation) wireless standard and works in the 2.4GHz frequency band, so it is called 2.4G wifi. Many people think that 5G wifi refers to operating in the 5Ghz radio wave band, but it is not. 5Ghz dual-band and 802.11ac (fifth generation), only wifi that supports the 802.11ac protocol is true 5G cpe router wifi.
