When Should You Use 2G?

Created by Joshua Gardiner, Modified on Mon, 24 Mar at 2:18 PM by Tijorn Burton

While 5G is often better for most internet needs, the 2G band can still be useful. For example:

  • If you have devices far from the router, 2G can maintain a connection over a greater distance.
  • Lower-bandwidth tasks like checking email, browsing, or smart home devices are often well-suited to the 2G band.

In summary, the 5G connection is generally faster, less prone to interference, and better suited for data-intensive activities than the 2G band. By using the 5G connection for high-speed needs, you can experience the full potential of your internet and maximize your network’s performance. Enjoy the flexibility of dual-band, and switch between 2G and 5G as needed to get the best of both worlds!
