You'll just always have that problem though regardless of whether people know that "5G wifi" is lust being lazy for 5 GHz or not. Since 5 (or now 6) is larger than 2.4 and bigger number is better. No idea when 6G will actually come out. I do think they attempted to fix the lazyiness by calling it "6E" rather than "6G" so whenever 6G cellular comes out then you'll possibly have 6G cellular versus "6E" WiFi. That might help avoid some confussion on the part of the not so tech savvy who might be mixed up between the two. You'll still have the bigger number better problem. Although that's part of the promise of WiFi 6. At least in theory it will just use 2.4 GHz when that's more appropriate due to weak signal strength or 5/6 GHz automatically on one connection. Not sure how that works in practice but on paper it just is better.
