Hello Kenny,
At this time TP-Link has moved away from cameras that connect to the 5GHz network. With the compressed data stream there just isn't really a need for it, even with 2K resolution. 2.4GHz gives the camera better range capablities to improve the overall deployment in a network area. TP-Link may end up releasing new cameras that do connect to 5GHz but at this time we do not have any that are in active production.

@Carl Thanks for the update. Since I am not to technical... I have t-link switches and plugs that work on my network that is 5 ghz. so I was hoping that a camera would also work.

I totally understand. We did release a few cameras with 5GHz as well as 2.4GHz however, in research we found that it was more of a wasted feature and drove up cost. A great way to look at the difference between 2.4 and 5GHz is look at a telescoping flashlight. The narrow beam is brighter and can go further, but only covers a small area. This is 2.4GHz. The wide beam covers a greater area but doesn't go as far. This is 5Ghz.
2.4GHz is typcially for long range
5GHz is for devices that may require a greater bandwidth.
