Is it normal for my internet to be slow with 5G around?

No, 5G nearby shouldn't be messing with your internet speed. If your internet is lagging, it's probably something with your current connection, not the 5G running around you. Start by checking your Wi-Fi connection: move closer to the router, see if other devices are hogging the bandwidth, and try restarting the router. Sometimes it's dead simple, like your neighbor streaming a series in 4K on your network because your password is "password123".

If the Wi-Fi is holding up, contact your ISP. They can check if there's a problem on your line. It's not uncommon for the cable to be damaged or for your box to be totally out of sync. Also ask them what speed you should normally get with your plan, and run a speed test (speedtest or something similar) to show them the actual numbers.

5G really isn't your enemy here. It doesn't interfere with fiber or ADSL, and even with 4G/LTE it's not common to have direct issues. If you're using 5G on your phone at the same time though, yeah that can be a separate factor, but it would just be for that device, not your whole household.

5G doesn't interfere with your current connection, they're two different networks! That said, watch out though - if you've got an old router or it's in a bad spot, that can really tank your speeds. Try moving it closer or switching WiFi channels because devices around you can block your signal without you even realizing it.

Don't bother blaming 5G, that stuff really doesn't affect your wifi or wired connection 😅 But here's a detail people often forget: even if your router is in a good spot, try checking if someone else on the network is eating up all the bandwidth (torrents, 4K streaming, etc). Sometimes that fixes it right away!

At my place I struggled for months before figuring out my ISP was throttling me for no reason 🤦 Try running a speedtest from your phone on 4G/5G to see if you're getting decent speeds, and compare it with a speedtest on WiFi from your computer - that'll quickly tell you if the problem is coming from your router or your device. If 5G on the phone is flying but the router's lagging, ask your provider to check the lines and throttles, sometimes they limit without telling you 😅
