The correct answer is 'True'. WiFi 5, designated as 802.11ac, is backwards compatible with 802.11n, which means it can support devices operating on previous standards. While 802.11ac operates on the 5GHz band for its main features, such as improved data rates, it can also operate on the 2.4GHz band to allow backwards compatibility with 802.11n devices. The incorrect option ignores this key interoperability feature which is an important consideration when integrating newer technologies with existing network infrastructure.
