+Newer 5GHz WiFi is faster, can transfer far more data in shorter amounts of time, has more available channels and will likely have less interference compared to 2.4GHz WiFi.
+There are 23 non-overlapping channels in the 5GHz band.
+As with 2.4GHz, choose your channel and channel width based on the existing WiFi environment to avoid interference.
