The 5G WiFi network, also known as 5GHz WiFi, has come to improve the stability and speed of the standard. Despite being a mature technology, the truth is that its presence is limited to mid-range and high-end phones due to the manufacturing costs that they entail compared to the 2.4 GHz WiFi network. This is something that most manufacturers telephony replicate, as is the case of Xiaomi. Despite the fact that most Xiaomi phones are compatible with 5 GHz WiFi, the presence of this technology in the access range is practically residual. For this reason we have made a compilation with all Xiaomi models with 5G WiFi.
First of all, what advantages does 5G WiFi have?
Before knowing the list of Xiaomi mobiles compatible with the 5 GHz WiFi network, it is convenient to know all the advantages that this standard represents. Broadly speaking, the greatest advantage of this technology is found in the maximum speed that it is capable of offering. While the 2.4 GHz network offers maximum peaks of up to 60 Mbps, the 5 GHz network can reach speeds close to 860 Mbps.
This is due, in part, to the number of overlapping channels that the network supports: 25 compared to 14. On the contrary, the range in physical terms is less, as it has less penetration capacity. In other words, the 2.4 GHz network is more recommended if we are going to connect to the Internet from an area far from the router. If we want to enjoy all the contracted Internet bandwidth, it is advisable to use the 5G network.
How do I know if my Xiaomi mobile has 5 GHz WiFi?
The easiest way to know if our phone has a 5 GHz network is based on searching for WiFi networks inside our house or in an environment where there are WiFi networks that work at 5 GHz.
Another simpler way is still based on referring to the technical specifications of the phone. If the network modem supports standards A, N and AC (a / n / ac), it is most likely that our phone is compatible with the 5 GHz network. If, on the contrary, it only supports networks B, G and N (b / g / n), the device is most likely only compatible with 2.4 GHz networks
