What is part of the 5 GHz band?

 The 5 GHz band is a radio frequency band used for Wi-Fi communications. It has a higherdata bandwidth than the 2.4 GHz band, but a shorter range and less penetration through walls. The 5 GHz band is divided into several sub-bands, each with a different set of channels. One of these sub-bands is the U-NII-3 band, which covers the frequency range from 5725 MHz to 5850 MHz. This sub-band contains 24 non-overlapping channels, numbered from 149 to 172. Channels 149 to 161 are part of the 5 GHz band and can be used for Wi-Fi communications. Channels 165 and 169 are restricted to indoor use only, and channel 173 is not allowed in some regions. Channels 12, 13, and 14 are not part of the 5 GHz band, but belong to the 2.4 GHz band, which has a different set of channels and regulations. U-NII-5 is not a valid sub-band name, but a proposed extension of the 5 GHz band to include the frequency range from 5925 MHz to 7125 MHz. This extension is not yet approved or implemented, and therefore not part of the 5 GHz band. References: List of WLAN channels, What’s the Difference Between 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi (and Which Should I Use)?, What is the difference between 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz wireless frequencies?
