When selecting your network from the list as shown above, please ensure your strength is not below 70%. SolaX recommends that your wifi signal should not be below 70%. SolaX always recommends using the 2.4GHz network if available. This means that even though the 5GHz may be faster, it isn’t as reliable. The main difference between the two is that 5GHz provides faster data rates at a shorter distance, 2.4GHz offers coverage for farther distances but may perform at slower speeds. Often routers will broadcast their signals on two different frequencies, usually 2.4GHz & 5GHz.
