Litokam cameras come in two versions based on their frequency: single-band cameras that support only 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Pro models that support dual-band connectivity. If you’ve purchased a 2.4GHz camera, you might be wondering: "My home Wi-Fi is 5G, does that mean I can't use my 2.4GHz Litokam camera?"
—Not necessarily.

In this article, we’ll help you understand the difference between Wi-Fi frequencies and guide you on how to adjust your router settings so your Litokam camera can connect to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.

What are Wi-Fi Bands?

Wi-Fi bands are similar to water pipes of different lengths. The 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band has a wider coverage, like a longer pipe that can reach farther distances, but it operates at slower speeds. On the other hand, 5GHz Wi-Fi has faster speeds, but its coverage area is smaller, and its signal doesn’t penetrate walls as well. While 5GHz Wi-Fi delivers higher speeds, 2.4GHz is better suited for devices that are farther away, such as your Litokam camera.

Is 5GHz Wi-Fi a Single Frequency?

Not exactly. If your Wi-Fi network name contains “5G,” it usually means your router supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, but it merges them into a single network. Even though the router can handle both frequencies, your camera only supports connecting to the 2.4GHz band.

How to Check If My Wi-Fi Supports 2.4GHz?

You can check your Wi-Fi frequency in a couple of ways:

1. Look at your router’s network name (SSID). If the name includes “5G,” it likely supports both 5GHz and 2.4GHz.
2. Access your router’s management page and review the frequency settings.

Once you’ve confirmed your Wi-Fi frequencies, the next step is ensuring your camera connects to the correct 2.4GHz band.

How to Separate Wi-Fi Bands?

How to Separate Wi-Fi Bands
If your router merges the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands into one network, you can adjust the router settings to split them into two separate networks. This process is simple—just go into your router’s settings and change the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) for each band. For detailed instructions, check out our guide here.

If you're not familiar with the process, you can always contact your router’s customer support for assistance.

By following these steps, you can ensure your Litokam camera successfully connects to the 2.4GHz network and functions properly. Even if your home Wi-Fi is 5G, with a few simple adjustments, you can still use your 2.4GHz Litokam camera without any issues.
