When connecting to the internet using a wired connection, does it use the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz network?

Wireless computer network equipment typically uses radio signals in either a 2.4 GHz range or a 5 GHz range.

The GHz range of a wireless radio is only partially related to the speed of a wireless network. For example, 802.11a wireless operates at 5GHz and 802.11g at 2.4GHz, but both support the same maximum data rate of 54 Mbps. However, newer 802.11n and 802.11ac routers have the capability of simultaneous dual-band operation on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz ranges, allowing clients to connect on different bands for more flexibility and less interference. 802.11ac specifically expands on that, running entirely in the 5GHz band.

It's a WIRED connection. It does not use the 2.4 or 5 GHz networks at all.

Oh, wired is usually faster, by the way! :D

~Helpful ~Cindy! :)

neither the 2.4GHz or 5GHz for wired networks, wired networks are usually faster

those bandwiths are for wireless functions. It has NOTHING to do with wired connections. You get what you pay for when you use a wire. That's why my room is a wire hazard lol

If you are using an Ethernet cable, it has nothing to do with wireless frequencies, unless the Ethernet cable is connected to a wireless bridge or something that uses wireless to connect to your router or gateway. If you are directly wired to a router that has wired Internet, no wireless frequencies are used for that connection.

Neither; it uses the wired connection - at least that is what you said.

Nether! It's wired! 2.4GHz and 5GHz are for wireless!

2.4/5GHz are for wireless networks not wired

Neither, the 2.4/5GHz are for wireless networks not wired
