Hi! Thanks for reaching out about your upgrade to Wi-Fi 5 and your question regarding Frameo’s compatibility with your iPhone. Just to clarify, when you say "Wi-Fi 5," are you referring to the 5 GHz Wi-Fi network band your router is broadcasting? I want to make sure I understand your setup correctly so I can give you the best advice.

In general, your iPhone running iOS 18.7 should work perfectly fine with Wi-Fi 5 (5 GHz band) networks and with the Frameo app, as the app requires iOS 16.4 or later, which you meet. However, there is one important point about the Frameo digital photo frame itself: most Frameo frames only support connecting to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks—not 5 GHz. So, if your Frameo device is expected to connect to the Wi-Fi network directly, it probably won't be able to find or connect to the 5 GHz band. This could affect your ability to send photos to the frame through the app or control it over Wi-Fi.

Therefore, while your iPhone and Frameo app will work fine on Wi-Fi 5 (5 GHz), the Frameo frame likely needs access to a 2.4 GHz network to function correctly. Many modern routers are dual-band, meaning they broadcast both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals simultaneously. If your router supports this, you can connect your Frameo frame to the 2.4 GHz band and your iPhone can still use 5 GHz for other faster internet tasks.

Here's what I suggest:

1. Check if your router broadcasts both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (most do). You may see two Wi-Fi network names (SSIDs), one for each band, often with similar names.

2. Connect your Frameo photo frame to the 2.4 GHz network as per the frame's Wi-Fi setup instructions.

3. On your iPhone, feel free to connect to the 5 GHz band.

4. Make sure your Frameo app on the iPhone is updated to the latest version to ensure smooth communication.
