Here is the dual band WiFi router that I recommend (affiliate) amzn.to/49BkvLl Follow me on Twitter ➤ twitter.com/PowerCert

*The difference is 2.6 ghz* ✅🙂

Easiest answer 2.4 is for long range reliable WiFi 5 is for close range and better WiFi

I am absolutely blown away by how great this video is. Please, keep doing what you do!

So the 2.4GHz is like a mid-far range rifle like a AR with a 4x scope. the 5GHz is like a shotgun. It’s much better up close and much powerful.

These animations and explanations are so good.

I've come across thousands of vidos on "IT" stuff but shit...this is so detail and easy to follow and understand...if only we got teachers like this in college we'd all be having good jobs and getting good grades.

This man has advanced PowerPoint animation skills. Nice

Came across your channel today. Been watching all your videos. I'm from the IT field (software programmer) and can safely say your videos are hands down the best explanation. Beautifully & lucidly illustrated. Kudos to you :)

Another thing to consider is that not all devices support 5 GHz. Older laptops and smartphones won't connect to the 5 GHz band, only 2.4 GHz band.

I really don't know how to say thank you for all these amazing videos. No one and no platform can teach me as perfect as this channel does. Keep it up! You make a great deal of difference in peoples lives

Short videos, straight to the point and really well explained. Congratulation mate! I wish the world had more people like you to make things work simpler and logically. Keep up with the nice material

Been 4 days without wifi in my ps4. 100 videos I've watched. Then taraaa ! What I needed. Thanks so much🕊 short and sweet to the point. Bravo !

Wow! Imagine that: a super-informative well-done video worth every minute of my time! Thanks!

We know everyone has their own way of teaching but why can't everyone teach the way this person is teaching. It is very simple & even a person with no technical knowledge can easily understand what is taught in this video. Excellent presentation, I will never forget the difference between the 2.4 ghz & 5 ghz. Thank you for this & keep up your great work. Not only this video, I have watched several video of your's they are so simple & easy to understand.

Excellent in the way you teach/explain. Thanks so much! I hope you keep coming with more videos. I am studying for my CompTIA A+ exam.

Old video I know, but as someone who has installed residential internet services for over a decade I find myself having to explain this to people at least 4-8 times a day. I might just start pointing customers to this video in the future. Thanks!

Underrated. Bravo! Love the video

Thanks for the lesson, the illustrations and details really helped me get some basics straight.

feels like u can read my mind, got curious about 2.4/5GHz difference when i set up my modem and wifi extender and cctv recently. and saw this video. love it. Thanks for making these video.

Excellent video as always! Your animations always make it so much easier to see the topic explained than just talking about it by itself. I love this channel.

love this channel. everything is explained so easily

Thank you for expounding these issues and appreciated the profound details.

You are one of the best presenters I've ever come across. Short, sweet & very clear. Very Intuitive.

Another brilliantly explained and animated video, best in class, many thanks!

Thanks for making this video!! Just got a new router and you pretty much answered all my questions.

Word perfect. Best UKposts tutorial I’ve seen for a long time, or maybe ever. Clear, concise, 1,000 likes from me.

An explanation that I actually understood....thank you for the simple breakdown. This video was insightful and helpful🙏❤️

Excellent video I found your video footage most informative,Thank you very much for explaining the pros and cons of 2.4 GHz versus 5 GHz.Thanks to you I now have a better understanding About the differences.

Very Good description, Love the animation. Makes it much easier to understand. Thanks.

This is what I was looking for. Nicely explained!

Wow! Kinda scary, this video showed up in my feed. I just had a technician come out to find the problem with my wifi connection. The issue was located outside but the scary part is that he explained everything the way you did in this video. Even scarier, the date of this video is around 20 months ago! Good job by the way. I'll probably go back and watch again later since I disabled the 5G for now.

I just found your channel and have been binge watching. I can't tell you how helpful they've been. Thank you. Subd!

Well explained. The two work much like Bass and Treble in music. Bass (2.4) travels farther, but doesn't get as high, while Treble (5) gets higher but doesn't travel as far.

I am not gonna lie I have been watching your videos all day, very informative. Keep it up!

I felt like a Explorer! Looking for my own personal Oasis! And I found it! What I don't understand in Class! I take that trip to your Website! I feel the breeze and the calmness in my Spirit and Heart! Thank you! For being there! Just needed that extra reason!

Thank you so much. I have seen a lot of videos on this....but they failed to understand me. You are a genius man.

What I've learned is: 2.4 GHz is green 5 GHz is red

This is clearest explanation of anything I have ever watched on UKposts. Big up man!!

Excellent video. Very important subject in live audio, where we use routers all the time to control mixing consoles remotely.

Look man, if you stop posting videos, I'm going to case on you. You Explain soooo good. Thanks.

One of the first smartphones to support dual band wireless networking capability was the Samsung Galaxy S2, and dual band wireless networking capability if fitted (either built in or external dongle) for media devices should be dual band capable considering that a number of wireless routers only have video optimizations for the 5 GHz band.

Many thanks for this instructive video. At my small office, I have a single band Router. At home, I have a dual band router. I hadn't figured this difference, advantages and disadvantages. Thanks again!

just watched this video and subscribed to your channel Keep up the good work!

Funny thing is I went to my family’s vacation house with my dad yesterday to drop some stuff off and I got a new phone since the last time I was there so I had to put in the wifi again. I was given a 2.4 and 5 option so I chose 5 thinking maybe it means something and maybe the connection would be better. Today after coming back, I look at this video and I was right. I was really curious and this popped up so looked at it. I feel satisfied now.

Great GURU. easy to learn more than my teacher hahaha. I hope there will be tutorial about diskless desktop.thank you

Such a simple and efficient explanation, thank you.

Thanks for sharing this easy and straight forward explanation. Subbed!

Great channel!!! Would really love to see your take on Mesh router systems!

Thanks it was informative. Cheers mate.

This is so user friendly. Thank you for the easy to understand explanation!

You are doing the work many do not want to commit to! Thanks for helping out the visual learners :)

You are providing good Animation videos regarding Networking

Starts the video with "Hello everyone" Me: thinking "this is YOUR daily dose of internet"

Solid video. Not one sentence was wasted in helping me digest this. Well done!

Short and crispy! Straight to the point! Awesome videos!

I thought you were gonna say “this is your daily dose of internet”

This is the best and simplest explanation if seem. Nice job.

very timely, I just received my new dual band router. Thanks for the info 👌🏿

Such a well made, well explained video! Subscribed.

Man you are a legend of explanations and my best choice of subscriptions ever 😀

I just learned something new today, thank you for posting this video.... LM

Short and straight to the point video. Well done!

this is a very helpful and informative video even though it's 4 yrs. old. thanks for taking the time and doing this video. great job!

finally understood. huge thanks.

Thank you for overexplaining it. I need that most of the time.

Yesterday I bought a new router and this video clarified some doubts Thank you 😊

I usually don’t like videos on YT but this was really well put together, thank you!😋

I would like to thank you for this video. It can't be more clear. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Brilliant.... I never knew that...👍🏻

The videos on WiFi on this channel are so well made! THX Man!

We, the Saint Petersburg Agrophysics Research Institute, use some TP-Link dual-band routers (AC1200 aka Archer 6). One's placed at the rear end of the meeting hall, its 5 GHz coverage is limited by the walls of that meeting hall. 2.4 GHz, however, is considerably strong even at the hall.

People in my house when they see the 5GHz they actually think that they're connecting to a 5G technology. Now, I'm gonna show them this video

This may be the single most helpful tutorial I've ever watched. Thanks so very much~!

Thank you for your explanations concerning the double band and thank you for your kindness.

Fantastic graphics to illustrate the lesson. Thank you!

I never expected 2.4GHz and 5GHz to make such great video

I have a 5 GHz and it's really not good penetrating concrete walls. The third room in line doesn't get any wifi. Awesome video ⚘

absolutely great. Great job Power Cert !!!

I HAVE BEEN using a dual band for about 5 years and its very good to have both because the new appliances mostly have both the 5.0 is at least 5 times faster the issue is its not a long signal you can not go as far away from the sending unit 2.4 is much longer distance

Well done once again ***** Network+ Security + if possible . Thanks !!

I use the 5GHz for my laptop and 2.4GHz for my cell. I usually hardwire for my Xbox Live etc gaming needs. Works out very well.

Extremely satisfied with the explanation.. Thank you so much.

Lot of smart work put in animations Kudos

Cautious note for people wanting to buy the recommended router in the descriptions link. The voltage is 110V AC. So if you’re in the UK for example where you need 230V, this won’t work and you’ll instantly damage the product as soon as you plug it in.

Guess who's calling their isp tomorrow???! 🙋‍♂️ Nice video, explained very well! 👍

Very useful info, thank you. Better explaining than in this video i had never seen

one of the most informative videos i ever watched

Thanks for this info ☺

God bless you, Sir!

Simple and concise, very well explained

amazing explanation!! used this info to optimize my wifi setup!!

One last thing to note... the 5 GHz band doesn't actually have 25 separate frequencies. What it has is 25 x 20 MHz bands. But wifi at 5 GHz is capable of ganging bands together. 802.11-n uses 40 MHz bands and there are only 12 channels. 802.11ac uses 80 MHz (6 channels) and 160 MHz (2 channels). In some countries (including the U.S.) additional channels are available. The 2.4 GHz band has a fourth non-overlapping channel (channel 14) and the 5 GHz band has a bunch more too. Some of the 5 GHz channels may be unusable due to radar also using those channels. The savings grace for the 5 GHz band is its low range. If you have nearly direct line of sight, the low range prevents other nearby routers from interfering with yours. So if you live in an apartment complex, for example, the 5 GHz band is virtually guaranteed to be superior to the 2.4 GHz band because the 2.4 GHz band will be filled up with all your neighbors wifi routers due to its longer range. But your neighbors 5 GHz routers won't have the same reach and are less likely to interfere with your 5 GHz. On the other-hand, if you live in a single-family home, 2.4 GHz can potentially cover the whole house without having to use relays, and your neighbors are far enough away that their 2.4 GHz won't interfere with yours. -Matt

So what I'm hearing is.. throw my microwave out.. that's why I keep lagging.

You're a GOAT. You've helped my gaming/college work experience even better.

This information you give is so amazing. Now I understand what channel does. Thank you so much

Actually shorter range and non-penetration can be an advantage if you are in a crowded area and have security concerns. The 5GHz band sounds like it would be the choice to keep your neighbor from piggy backing on your connection.

If I update my wifi on my laptop to 5 GHz with a new chip, will my wireless printer and camera function...we already have a dual band Fiber optic router...

this was so helpful! 🙏

I am actually doing an Internship in Networking and this video is truly helpful
