26 Questions and Answers 1. Which network should I use? If you are connected to the Advanced Wi-Fi Modem or Extender from a close distance, 5G is the better choice.

It only connect to the 2.4G network, I don t see the 5G network on my device? If you want a 5G signal, you must have a dual band WiFi Router.
