I don't believe it is meant to be faster, it is meant as an alternative for a really over-burdened 2.4ghz channel. Almost every home wireless device in existence is built to work on the 2.4ghz channel, so the 5ghz channel was created as an alternative to give those devices that had the capability a channel just for them in order to create less interference on the 2.4ghz one. However, the range and stability of the 5ghz channel in my experience just sucks and is not worth using. We have a lot of devices in the house on the 2.4ghz and honestly have never really had an issue or slow-down. I do hope Nintendo includes AC though, that would be primo |
It's the complete opposite for me...all my devices are completely off the 2.4 spectrum due to horrible interference. A good 5GHz router can reach even the blackest of blackspots in my house.
Oh, and Wi-Fi AC is exclusively 5GHz.
