Reply to comment by invenio78 in TIL that cheap, un-shielded USB drive enclosures drastically reduce Bluetooth range by SomeGuyNamedJay

I think 2.4 has less range but can penetrate walls easier. 5g has a longer range but can't penetrate walls as easy. It's strange.

Ok, maybe that is it because the signal has to go through multiple walls and to another floor of the house.

I could swear that I did read it somewhere to go 2.4ghz if you are having trouble connecting to 5ghz. I didn't make it up myself.
