Q: apple watch and 5g wifi
I hope this doesn't sound stupid, my wifi is listed as a bunch of numbers followed by -5G my question is is this type of wifi not supported by my apple watch to run on by itself. the other name it is listed as is a much slower connection and a pain to use with my iPhone and not worth staying connected to just for the times I want to just use my apple watch when not in range of the iPhone I hope this didn't sound confusing.
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2.1, 42 mm stainless
