Method 1: Look at your available networks

1. Open up your WiFi menu on your phone or computer, and see if there are multiple options with your WiFi's name:

2. See if there are multiple similar network names, for example, "YourWifi" and "YourWifi_5G".

Above: iOS Example

3. If there are multiple similar networks, pick the one with either 2G, 2GHz, or nothing extra in the name ("YourWifi"). That is most likely the 2.4GHz WiFi network for your home.

Method 2: Using Android

If you have an Android phone, you can definitively confirm whether the network is 2.4G or 5G.

1. Connect to the network

2. Go to Settings > Network & internet > WiFi > Select the network properties (tap the gear icon or menu icon). NOTE: Depending on your android version these steps might be different.

3. Read the frequency setting.

4. If your network shows up in the 2.4GHz, then it's a 2.4GHz network.

Method 4: Using a Windows Computer

1. Connect to the WiFi network.

2. Open your networks panel from your taskbar (click the WiFi icon in the bottom right).

3. Click on properties for your connected network.
