Wi-Fi compatibility standard table

For the smoothest live view and lowest latency, use a 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection whenever available. A 2.4 GHz connection remains supported, but may provide much lower performance in congested environments. Director Mode is also supporting 6GHz devices for optimum performance with compatible, latest-generation devices.
