Does disabling 5g make my 2.4g faster/stabler?

Just wondering if i disable my 5g - it should reduce load on my router which in turns make 2.4g faster / stabler?

As stated it wont make 2.4 G faster or more stable. You should consider disabling the 2.4 G band and only use 5 G i have been doing this for a year now and the results are great. Sure a little less signal but thats more then made up for with the non congested 5 G band i am all alone on this band and it shows in performance.

Why not disable 5g and find out for yourself? You never really know until you try.

As the others say, it theoretically should make little difference, but reality may say different.

If you disable one of the Wi-Fi bands the only change will be that the router will run cooler by 1-2 degrees.

The wifi chips will run cooler up to 3 degrees difference which is very significant for wifi stability for some. Other than that it has no effect.
