Does the order of 1 and 2 cable matter with WiFi?

MMatt8 · ‎08-26-2018

I bought an Intel 8265 WiFi chip.

Does it matter which order the connectors go in?

I currently have the 1 cable plugged into the 2 slot, and visa versa.

Will it make a difference?

I heard that one wire is 5 GHz and the other is 2.4 GHz, so you could be slowing it down by plugging a 5 GHz cable into a 2.4 Ghz slot.
