WiFi can connect over 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Used to be those SSIDs were different names, so it was easy to know how you were connected.

Connecting to a 5GHz can give you up to around 1300Mbps while 2.4GHz max is anywhere from 100-600Mbps.

2.4 goes farther, through walls better, whereas 5 does not.

With modern equipment it negotiates the best frequency to get you the best speed.

As an aside, what are you all doing that you require a gigabit connectivity?
