How to
Turn on 5 GHz Wi-Fi
5 GHz Wi-Fi supports faster data speeds than 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi but has a shorter range. If your Wi-Fi signal has unobstructed access from your router to your connected device, and won't need to penetrate walls, it may be an advantage to connect to your router using 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Remember, you need to establish a connection to the router web interface.
