  3. People also ask
    When Wi-Fi access points (APs), wireless routers or client devices are described as 802.11ac-compatible, that means .11ac is supported in the 5 GHz spectrum. These devices are generally dual band, but the 2.4 GHz frequency side is still 802.11n, because .11ac is 5 GHz-specific. How does 802.11ac work?
    *Wi‑Fi 0, 1, 2, and 3 are named by retroactive inference. They do not exist in the official nomenclature. IEEE 802.11ac-2013 or 802.11ac is a wireless networking standard in the IEEE 802.11 set of protocols (which is part of the Wi-Fi networking family), providing high-throughput wireless local area networks (WLANs) on the 5 GHz band.
    Although still considered current to a certain degree, 802.11ac is being displaced by the latest standard, 802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6. When Wi-Fi access points (APs), wireless routers or client devices are described as 802.11ac-compatible, that means .11ac is supported in the 5 GHz spectrum.
    To make 802.11ac hardware truly backward-compatible with N devices, which are available in both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands, all 5G Wi-Fi devices will come with 802.11n on the 2.4Ghz band.
