Hello everyone. When I connect to the regular internet, it automatically switches to 802.11n. My friend, using a MacBook Pro, seems to automatically switch to 802.11ac when connected via WiFi. At home on my PC, I go to 802.11n unless I change the router settings to 5GHz, then it switches to 802.11ac. Why is that happening? Is there a way to make it choose AC automatically? Also, does your router find 5GHz easier than 2.4GHz? And isn’t there really no noticeable speed difference between them?
The 5GHz frequency offers quicker speeds but covers less distance compared to the 2.4GHz band. Your device might not be in the optimal position for the 5GHz range and could automatically switch to 2.4GHz until you change it. What other tools are you using besides your computer?
network cards work with various standards. Your card might only handle 802.11n on a 2.4GHz frequency. You could likely turn off the 2.4GHz band in your router, causing the card to default to 5GHz. 2.4GHz is slower but more reliable, penetrates walls better, while 5GHz is faster but more sensitive to interference.
2.4G equals b divided by g, and n only. 5G is a/n/c/a multiplied by a.
