5G system?

Hello Ladybug26,

 

Thank you for reaching out and sorry to hear this. To help clear this up for you, 5 GHz refers to the frequency band used by your home Hughesnet Wi-Fi router for faster local connections (within 15 feet), while 5G (fifth generation) is a cellular network standard for mobile phones, offering much broader coverage, massive capacity, and lower latency across various bands for internet access on the go. Think of 5 GHz Wi-Fi as your fast home internet connection that works if the device is close enough, and 5G cellular as your super-fast mobile internet, unrelated to your home Hughesnet internet. 

 

 

With that being said, if your bird feeder is a bit too far away from the modem for the 5 GHz network to work well, I would try switching it to the 2 GHz network, as its designed to handle devices at great ranges (within 30 feet). Sometimes farther in some cases. -Damian
