Understanding the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Bands
The UBC1301-AA00 operates in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands
simultaneously. This feature allows you to choose the best band for your device to ensure
stability with your local and Internet connection.
The table below provides a comparison between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
6.3.6.4
Selecting a Wireless Channel
You may need to change the wireless channel on which the UBC1301-AA00 operates
when you are in computing, test, and other environments where several wireless access
points may be operating in the 2.4GHz range.
In some cases, you may want to segment your wireless traffic where a group of devices
operates on one channel and another group operates on another channel, and so on. This
is done by configuring the channel on each wireless access point individually (if you have
multiples). If you have control over only one wireless device in an environment where
there may be several, you can change the wireless channel on your device to one that is
not heavily used.

Channels
In the USA, channels 1-11 are used. There are
3 non-overlapping channels (1, 6, and 11). Auto
channel should be selected to ensure that the
channel with the least interference is used.

Range
Wider range
Shorter Range
Interference
Higher, as many wireless devices such as
cordless phones, microwave ovens, and
computers use the 2.4GHz frequency.
Lower chance of picking up interference
because fewer types of wireless devices
use the 5GHz frequency.
Application
Recommended for simple Internet browsing and
email, as these applications don’t take too
much bandwidth and work fine at a greater
distance.
Recommended for applications that require
uninterrupted throughput, like media
streaming. The wider spectrum delivers
better performance.
Note:
If you want to use the 5GHz frequency, all wireless client adapters must support 5GHz.
