WiFi available in 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequency bands. Dependent on router but most newer routers offer both.
2.4ghz is slower but better range. 5ghz is faster but shorter range. 2.4ghz technically can support up to 400-600mbps and 5ghz up to 1300mbps But lots of household devices also use the 2.4ghz bandwidth so it’s congested. End up, under good conditions, you’ll usually get 100+mbps. 5ghz less congested but not many WiFi client can support that high a speed. So usually will be 300++mbps. For example, my iPhone 7+ can get 450+mbps on 5ghz |

I currently still on a 10Mbps broadband and intend to upgrade to fiber.
Wonder if my current devices : 2pc, 1 laptop and 1 mac laptop. Are these devices able to use their current wireless adapter if I upgrade to fiber? I don't intend to use cable. Thanks. |
