So suffice it to say, you will be connected to 5.0 GHz most of the time, that’s assuming your phone or tablet support that band.

Google WiFi has intelligence that determines when the 2.4 GHz bands will provide a more stable connection versus 5.0 GHz. In the case of Google Wifi, the mesh network will typically prefer the 5.0 GHz network over the 2.4 GHz band. For those unaware of the benefits, the 5.0 GHz band provides significant throughput improvements but only at short distances from the router.

One thing that practically many mesh networks do is combine the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands together under the same SSID. A mesh network system is excellent for improving coverage in a home or office.
