Good advice. Our Arris modem/router broadcasts in both 2.4 and 5.0. Neither is better, just different. The 5.0 is faster but has shorter range and won’t travel well through walls. I have the TV next to the router tuned to 5.0 and all other devices running at 2.4. Any Mobil devices should definitely be at 2.4 so you have better range regardless of location.
