I don't think that's true?

As far as I know, the higher the frequency, the shorter the range and the more the signal is interfered with by natural objects, as long as power stays the same. So a newer dual band wifi router with increased power will have greater range overall, but 2.4GHz will outperform 5GHz.

FCC increases 5GHz spectrum 2014

of course it took a couple years before hardware began to appear to take advantage of this.

my 5GHz outperforms my 2.4 greatly now with the new Asus 86U router I just bought that fully embracses the changes.

eta unfortunately shitty products like my Ring spotlight only support 2.4 so these continue to limp along.
