Hi, this Kasa smart plug utilizes the 2.4GHz WiFi frequency. 2.4GHz frequency is used in this case primarily for the following reasons:

- Does not require the use of a separate “Smart Hub” – our smart devices conveniently connect to your existing WiFi router.
- 2.4GHz provides considerably farther range than 5GHz, which allows for more flexible smart device positioning.
- Smart devices require very little bandwidth to send and receive information, so the higher bandwidth of the 5GHz frequency is unnecessary.
- Most 5GHz capable WiFi routers should also support the 2.4GHz frequency. We recommend consulting your router's documentation to verify whether it has this capability.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our toll-free support team using any of the resources included with the product, or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.
