WiFi Confusion Explained (Somewhat)

In the realm of modern technology, Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) has become a ubiquitous feature that allows electronic devices to connect and communicate with each other without the use of physical cables or wires. This remarkable technology utilizes radio waves to transmit and receive data between devices that are equipped with WiFi capabilities. The idea of wireless communication was first demonstrated by ALOHAnet in 1971 when the potential of this technology was realized. However, it wasn't until 1974 that Vic Hayes popularized the use of his type of WiFi by introducing the ISM band for unlicensed use. Today, WECA "from Alliance & Interbrand coin the term WiFi" has become an indispensable feature that is widely used by a plethora of electronic devices, including laptops, smartphones, and tablets. It typically operates on either 2.4 or 5 GHz frequencies to connect to the internet, making it an essential part of our daily lives. Now with that being said which one should you connect with 2.4 or 5 GHz? The truth is, depending on where you are located from the router. The closer you get the easier the radio waves can travel on a higher level so you would use the 5 GHz. The farther you go from the router the longer the wave pattern you would want so you would use the 2.4 GHz. This is why people put in WiFi extenders in homes and outside. There are 5 different types of WiFi signals that you can use and well at this point, I won't go into that much detail.
