iPad Pro 11” (2021) 5G WiFi

WiFi globally uses two principal frequency bands - 2.4GHz and 5GHz. These bands are subdivided into channels - and it is only the channels used in differing regions that may vary. Most geographic regions use a sub-set of the full range of channels.

All models of iPad are able to access all channels within the two WiFi frequency bands, but are simply limited in the bands that are being used by the WiFi Router / Access Point that provide the network to which you connect.

If setting-up your own WiFi network, this support page details Apple’s recommended WiFi settings:

5G is the current fashionable marketing name used for recent cellular connections; harder, better, faster, stronger, or something else similarly Daft.

5G cellular has different channel ranges, and there is overlap, and a particular cellular caller may or may nor permit connections on the particular set of carrier-compatible channels available on your device.

Wi-Fi is different from cellular. Most any active Wi-Fi is running Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, or the current Wi-Fi 6. There are somewhat different ranges of Wi-Fi channels available depending on your location, and Wi-Fi geolocation will cause the Wi-Fi router and the iPad to select the correct channel range for your particular Wi-Fi location. iPad Pro 2021 is Wi-Fi 6, which is backwards-compatible with any Wi-Fi you’re likely to encounter.

Be assured that your iPad will not have a problem with WiFi when used with any WiFi Router manufactured in recent years - no matter where in the world you are.
