A: Hi Ron, If by "5G" you mean you have 5G cellular Internet service, please note that 5G and 5 GHz describe different connection types, with 5G being a cellular connection (typically between your gateway and your ISP), and the other being a Wi-Fi connection type for devices in your home. We recommend verifying that your router supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, which is common in most modern home networks. If supported by your router, the Tapo Pan Tilt Camera can be connected to your router's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
