Why 5Ghz signal is weaker than 2.4Ghz?
The high the frequency, the weaker the penetration. 5Ghz is operating at a higher frequency than 2.4Ghz. The shorter wavelength means it cannot penetrate solid objects like concrete wall that well.
Why 2.4Ghz is unstable and slower?
The 2.4Ghz band is used by a ton of devices such as dect phones, bluetooh, microwave oven and many other IoT devices. The interference is worst if you stay at a condo which really impact the maximum performance you can get.
Put it in layman terms, 2.4Ghz is like talking to a friend with 100 other people in the room, you have to talk slower so your friend can hear you better.
2020 Update: TNB just announced their smart meter is going to operate on the 2.4Ghz. Expect worst performance.
Why my WiFi speed is slow even after using a good WiFi router?
Please make sure you use a good WiFi adapter. Realistically, an AC1300 WiFi adapter can deliver up to around 500Mbps at very good signal.
The speed will be slower as the distance is further, a good router will have better interference mitigation so the long distance speed can be better.
Before you complain any further, use an Ethernet LAN cable to test the speed to determine where is the bottleneck is.
May I know for my router to enable both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, is it better to seperate as different SSID, or leave it the same and let the device to choose the best it can connect to?The high the frequency, the weaker the penetration. 5Ghz is operating at a higher frequency than 2.4Ghz.
