    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that 5ghz can use higher signal power than 2.4ghz which would diminish this advantage by some, anyway. If I remember correctly, the 2.4 GHZ band is limited to 0.1W while the 5 GHZ band is 1W.

    Edit: With that said, I’m betting that a phone hotspot limits both of them to a very low power in order to keep battery life because blasting out one watt would kill your battery quite quickly.
