The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz options on your modem provide different wireless frequency bands. The 2.4 GHz band covers a larger area and penetrates walls better, making it ideal for general browsing and connecting devices that are farther from the modem. However, it is more susceptible to interference and typically offers slower speeds. The 5 GHz band offers faster speeds and less interference, making it suitable for high-bandwidth activities like streaming and gaming but has a shorter range. By providing both options, you can choose the best connection based on your needs and the location of your devices.
