WiFi Frequencies - When should I split frequencies?

You might consider splitting your WiFi network into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies in the following scenarios:

1. Some older devices only support 2.4 GHz frequency.
2. 2.4 GHz frequency is more crowded because it is commonly used by many household devices (e.g., Chromecast, Google Home, Sky). Splitting the networks can help reduce interference and congestion.
3. If you experience frequent disconnections or poor performance, splitting the frequencies can help you determine if a particular device performs better on one frequency over the other.
4. Help with bandwidth management. You can assign devices that do not require high bandwidth (e.g., smart home devices) to the 2.4 GHz and assign high-bandwidth devices (e.g., computers, smart TVs) to the 5 GHz frequency.
