What 5 GHz Wi-Fi support means for smart thermostats

Most smart home devices connect only to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. A device that supports 5 GHz can join a 5 GHz network directly, which matters when your router has no 2.4 GHz network or combines both bands under one name.

Values come from the specification record for each model. Where a manufacturer source has been checked for this field, the evidence column links to it; otherwise the value is an unverified catalog record. Confirm the exact model, region and firmware before buying.

Before you buy

5 GHz Wi-Fi setup checklist

  1. If a device only supports 2.4 GHz, keep a 2.4 GHz network enabled. Separating the bands during setup can help when one network name covers both.
  2. 5 GHz has shorter range through walls than 2.4 GHz. Check signal strength where the device will sit.
  3. Support for 5 GHz is a Wi-Fi capability; it does not change which smart home platforms the device works with.
