I know that most Arduino-compatible Wi-Fi modules, such as the ESP8266 and ESP32, operate on the 2.4GHz frequency. However, is there a way to connect such boards to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network? Are there any modules that support 5GHz, or is 2.4GHz the only option? I would like to understand this in detail, so please help me.

You see, most of the Mainstream boards don't support it, there are a few options:
-
ESP32-C6 and ESP32-C5 (newer chips by Espressif) are designed to support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. However, they are relatively new and not yet as widely available or supported in the Arduino ecosystem as the original ESP32.
-
Other options include using more powerful SBCs (Single-Board Computers) like Raspberry Pi, which can support dual-band Wi-Fi and integrate with Arduino if needed.
