I'm curious, bro, when do you prefer the 5GHz band? Is it because it's less crowded or because low latency is important? Some people say the 2.4GHz band has advantages. In your opinion, which scenarios make each band more logical? I'm looking for clear answers for people like me who are confused 😅
When is the 5GHz band preferred?

I usually prefer the 5GHz band when gaming online or streaming HD videos, bro. The latency is way lower compared to 2.4GHz—like 20-30ms vs. 80-100ms. Plus, there’s less interference from other devices on 5GHz, which is a lifesaver if you live in an apartment.
But 2.4GHz has its uses too! Smart plugs, remote-controlled gadgets, or IoT devices in the garden work better on that band. It also covers longer distances and penetrates walls more effectively. So really, it depends on your needs: speed or range?
