Like I said, most people don’t know how to implement a network

Most of us don't NEED to know how to "implement a network." Most of us are just people who want to stream videos, browse the web, use our printers, watch TV, maybe pay bills with our bank's online banking system.

It doesn't matter if we know what gHz we're running on our network, or from our router. You don't have to know that, to plug in a cable and turn on a machine and see that everything is running smoothly.

My ISP didn't tell me anything, I did my own connecting with my own router and modem that I bought at Staples. I still don't know what gHz I'm running, and I don't care. It's irrelevant, as long as the network does what the user needs it to do. If it's not, I can always figure it out. But chances are, whatever goes wrong won't be the result of a low gHz. It'd probably be a loose cable, or an old modem burning out, or a computer virus, or running too many devices at the same time. Y'know, the common things that can cause a LAN to slow down.
