5g gateway work with 2.4GHz devices?

[DavidGB]

Can my older 2.4 devices connect?

Of course.

Needs some disambiguation here.

5G could refer to the cellular fifth generation technology or the 5GHz WiFi band.

5G Home Router's 5G indicates the highest cellular generation supported for the broadband connection, not the WiFi band.

5G Home Router has a 5GHz, 6GHz, and three 2.4GHz bands you could utilize.

All of the routers Verizon sells or provides will support 2.4Ghz. Sometimes old 2.4Ghz devices don't like the "SON" feature being enabled and will fail to connect. The same applies to WPA3 security if it's enabled. If you have any trouble, disable SON, and also make sure the router is set to "WPA2 AES" encryption mode only. If SON is disabled, also be sure to join your 5Ghz devices to the 5Ghz Wi-FI network so they get the best performance.
