Generally speaking, the 5 GHz band has substantially greater capacity due to more non-overlapping radio channels and less radio interference as compared to the 2.4 GHz band.
## <a name="docker"></a>What breaks RaspAP when Docker is installed on the same system and how I can fix it?
Installing RaspAP after installing Docker often results in connected clients not having internet access from the AP. The reason for this is Docker manipulates `iptables` rules to provide network isolation. Docker installs two custom iptables chains named `DOCKER-USER` and `DOCKER`, and it ensures that incoming packets are always checked by these two chains first. Docker also sets the policy for the `FORWARD` chain to `DROP`. When RaspAP is started in its default router mode, this will result in the AP not forwarding any traffic anymore. If you want RaspAP to continue functioning as a router, you can add explicit `ACCEPT` rules to the `DOCKER-USER` chain to allow it:
`sudo iptables -I DOCKER-USER -i src_if -o dst_if -j ACCEPT`
Additional info [here](https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/).
## <a name="uninstall"></a>How do I remove RaspAP?
We have provided an uninstall script to remove RaspAP cleanly, and also restore any backups of your configuration that were created before RaspAP was installed. The uninstall script is located in `installers/uninstall.sh`. To start the uninstaller, simply run the following from the project root folder (default location is `/var/www/html`):
