Commonly used Wi-Fi frequencies

Wi-Fi communications commonly use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies.

2.4GHz has longer range and better penetration than 5 GHz.

Even so 2.4 GHz has good range and penetration, it could suffer interference from other home appliances such as microwaves.

5 GHz frequency has less overlapping channels than 2.4 GHz.

5 GHz frequency has shorter range than 2.4 GHz.

5 GHz frequency is good for shorter range, it has worser than 2.4 GHz signal wall penetration. It has lower interference with common household devices.

It is ideal for short range, high speed communications.

Newer technology that was introduced recently is 6 GHz Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi 6 offers faster data rates than 5 GHz Wi-Fi, however it has shorter range than 2.4 and 5 GHz sygnals, and it has poorer wall penetration than these.
