2.4G / 2.5G / 5G / 6G / 10G What's the difference?
2.4G / 2.5G / 5G / 6G / 10G / 100M / 1Gbps / 10Gbps What's the difference?
Many people see these words confused because they have the same "G," but they are actually "not the same thing," especially when choosing a home net device, they are often confused.

01 | Separate first that there are 2 types. 🧠
2.4G / 5G / 6G
Is the "Wi-Fi band."
The unit used is GHz.
100M / 1Gbps / 2.5G / 10G
Is "network speed."
The units used are Mbps / Gbps.
Easy to remember
See GHz = mostly means "Wi-Fi frequency."
See Mbps / Gbps = means "Internet speed."

02 | 2.4G / 5G / 6G is the "Wi-Fi band" 📶
2.4G
Far signal.
Break through the wall
But lower speeds and a lot of noise.
Fits:
Smart Home Equipment
Older equipment
5G
High Speed
Little interference.
But can penetrate the wall moderately
Fits:
Mobile
Computer
Smart TV
6G
The waves are cleaner.
High bandwidth
But breaking through walls is worse than 5G.
Fits:
Wi-Fi 6E device
Wi-Fi 7 device
⚠️ Note: 5G / 6G here is the "Wi-Fi neighborhood."
It's not a 5G mobile network, and it's not 6G communications technology in the future.
03 | 100M / 1Gbps / 2.5G / 10G is "Network Speed" 🚀
100M = 100Mbps 12.5MB / s
1Gbps = 1000Mbps 125MB / s
2.5G = 2500Mbps 312.5MB / s
10G = 10000Mbps 1250MB / s
Often found in:
ONU port / fiber modem
Router
Switch
Gardlan.
Access Point
04 | Unit conversion formula 🔁
1\\ mathram {MB / s} = 8\\ mathram {Mbps}
So:
\ mathram {MB / s} =\ frac {\ mathram {Mbps}} {8}
Example: 1000Mbps Internet
Theoretical actual download is about 125MB / s.
Not 1000MB / s
05 | The most often confused ⚠️
2.4G ′ 2.5G
2.4G = Wi-Fi frequency
2.5G = portlan speed
Wi-Fi 5G ❣ 5G Mobile Network
One is in-house Wi-Fi.
The other is the mobile network.
NET 1Gbps ☉ 1000MB / s DOWNLOAD
1000Mbps will only get about 125MB / s.

Brief summary 📌
2.4G / 5G / 6G → See "Wi-Fi Neighborhood"
100M / 1Gbps / 2.5G / 10G → See on "Net Speed"
Convert Mbps to MB / s → "Divide 8"
