Why can’t camera connect to 5G frequency WiFi
The difference between 2.4G WiFi and 5G WiFi
1) 2.4G is a wireless technology. Because its frequency band is between 2.400GHz and 2.4835GHz, it is referred to as 2.4G wireless technology
2) 5G WiFi refers to the wireless technology developed based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard. Because the IEEE 802.11ac technology itself works in the 5G Hz frequency band, it is also called 5G WiFi
The difference between 5G WiFi and 5G communication network
· The 5G in 5G WiFi refers to the frequency band of the wireless signal. In the mobile network, the “G” in 4G and 5G refers to the English word “Generation”, and 4G refers to the fourth-generation mobile phone mobile communication standard, 5G is the fifth-generation mobile phone mobile communication standard
Why can’t the device connect to 5G WiFi
· The WiFi module used by the V380 product only supports connection to 2.4G WiFi, and cannot recognize or connect to 5G WiFi. Therefore, 5G WiFi or mixed-band WiFi cannot be used to configure the device network
