Smart home help (2.4 vs 5)

⚡Wi-Fi Frequencies

At Zzoomm, we want your smart devices to work as smoothly as possible – and that means understanding the Wi-Fi frequencies that can boost your home setup!

  • 2.4GHz: Think of it as the long-distance runner. It travels further but at slower speeds. Perfect for devices that are a bit further from your Zzoomm Hub (hello, thick walls).
  • 5GHz: This is the sprinter – super speedy, but it doesn’t reach as far. It’s ideal for devices close to your Hub, like your laptop or gaming console.

Make sure to check your device’s user guide – older (and some newer!) devices like smart plugs, doorbells, and even certain TVs, may only connect to 2.4GHz.
