The 2.4 GHz frequency band provides a broader coverage area compared to 5 GHz, which has a shorter range. This makes it especially suitable for providing coverage in small offices or homes where the range is more important than handling large amounts of data at high speeds. Higher frequencies such as 5 GHz are prone to being absorbed more readily by walls and other obstructions, leading to reduced signal coverage.
