Can I choose 5G or 2G? null

No. Google Wifi network uses the same name for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Both radio bands are active simultaneously. Your devices (e.g phone, laptop, etc) that support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz will automatically use the band that will deliver the best performance based on different factors like signal strength, and guidance from the mesh Wi-Fi system.

This system has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I did not choose. It may not be buried deep in the menus, but I just plugged in, set up the name and security and started connecting devices. My original verizon router had both options for me to choose from, but this one makes it transparent.
