The frequency of the measurement process is called hertz. The transmission speed of the Internet signal from the laptop to the router (and back) is also measured in hertz. Or, more often, in gigabytes (the final result of the processed volume of information flow).
Benefits 5 GHz
The flow of 5 gigahertz will allow you to exchange information 5 gigabytes per second. By modern standards, this is more than acceptable speed for comfortable work in the network.
Modern routers have a "speed margin", which is even more than the actual realities of the speed of connection to the network.
But, not all component manufacturers use new technologies. Some effectively use successful technologies of the past, which also allow you to comfortably work in the network. However, they do not have speed even at 1 GHz. Fortunately, Internet service providers are increasingly using faster transfer of information. This encourages component manufacturers to supply faster samples of their products.
Which routers can be connected to 5 GHz
The most common routers, which by default are provided by Russian Internet companies, have the ability to use high speed connections in their settings.
These include such routers:
- Asus (RT-AC58U);
- TP-Link (Archer C9);
- NETGEAR (R6120).
Reference! These access points need only be additionally configured if the user performs the procedure for changing the speed of the Internet connection (increases it).
This is also relevant in rural areas or near cities, where providers make periodic, planned replacements of Internet backbones with faster and more reliable information transmission lines. To avoid software limitations from the access point to use high speed, It is recommended to clarify with the provider the need to configure and activate additional transmission channels (5 GHz).
How to connect a router to 5 GHz
We offer step-by-step inclusion instructions for the most common models of routers.
Together with technical support in the telephone consultation mode, the setup procedure usually consists of three steps.
Step one - enter the access point's internal menus
This can be done through any browser installed on the computer, just typing in the address bar command code / address 192.168.0.1. After that the menu will open.
Important! This is a standard command for most routers. If you cannot enter the menu, it is recommended to clarify this command in the technical support of your provider.
No additional active network connection is required to enter the menu.
Step two - search for the "wireless mode" tab and activate the item "setting up communication channels"
At this point, the user There will be a choice of modes of operation.
Sometimes it is possible to use different communication channels in parallel. For example, for long distances - one mode, for closer connections or with a cable - another communication channel. But the use of multiple modes is rare.
Step Three - Selecting the "5 GHz" Mode
After that, confirm / save your choice. And (if the system requires it), restart the access point. Done! You managed to transfer the device to the desired mode.
Subsequent use of the Internet signal will be carried out via the 5 GHz communication channel.
