Actually, it's the older 2.4 Ghz devices that are having trouble connecting to the newer Wi-Fi systems. Most of the newer Wi-Fi systems have the 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz and 6Ghz radios. There are none that remove the older 2.4Ghz band because it's stil used. The problem is some older printers and other older wifi devices get confused and won't connect with the newer Wi-Fi bands present since they will only connect with the 2.4Ghz band. I haven't seen too many devices recently that won't work with the new Quantum Wi-Fi system but if you have a problem like that, Quantum will provide you free of charge a device that will connect up to these older 2.4 Ghz devices.
