I agree with the penetration and range assertions. Another advantage 5g has over 2.4 is it operates at a higher frequency so it doesn't get as much RF interference. 2.4 is all over the place and it disrupts connectivity.

This is what should be addressed beside the range issue. I have a mobile BTS near my house and it's impossible to have 2.4GHz working normally (the AP is just about 1m away tbh). Switching to 5GHz and the connection is more stable.
