It is definitely best for streaming, especially if you have multiple people on the same network. It really has nothing to do with gaming unless you are playing an on-line game.

5Ghtz is faster, but doesn't have much range, so it's not best for a larger home. 2.4 Ghtz is slower, but has a much larger range.

Good to know, thanks Drac.

Ah, thanks for that explanation, Draclvr. I have all my TV's on the 5G, so that's correct.

Interestingly, now that the printer is connected to the 2.4 internet connection, I can use it on my 5G and don't have to swap each time I want to print.

Of course, this being a cheap little Canon printer, the ink cartridges are half the price of the printer each! However, once I get the office downstairs up and running again that won't be an issue because I'll have a permanent computer down there. Not sure what to buy. My impulse is to get a Razer desktop so the machine can be multi-functional.

No you no longer have to swap, along with Draclvr's explanation it is easier to set up "Stuff" with 2.4, but once set up, you can then use the 5G, I did the same with my Security Camera, I had to use 2.4 to set it up but once it was up and running I could go back to 5 if I so wished, but for now I stay at 2.4 for Distance, again as mentioned by the Tomato Queen or the Goddess of Computers or just simply a Great Person.

Oh, my, Starcom! I am none of those things! Well, maybe I try to be a nice person! But thank you.
