5 GHz
Higher wireless frequency
5 GHz refers to a radio frequency band used primarily for wireless networking.
Wi-Fi routers often broadcast on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands—the latter offers faster speeds but shorter range: The 5 GHz network is faster but doesn't reach the basement.
The band is also used for some cordless phones and other short-range wireless devices.
