How To Distinguish Between 2.4 GHz and
5 GHz Networks
Newer routers can have a dual-band router
with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Go
into your Wi-Fi settings to check and if
you see two or more Wi-Fi network names
that belong to you, you may have a dual-
band router. A 2.4 GHz network may
have “24G”, “2.4” or “24” added to the
end of the network name. For example:
“Myhomeinternet2.4”. Connect to the 2.4
GHz network before setting up your air
purifier.
