General discussion • Zero and 5ghz wifi

$

Given the soon-to-be-imposed wreckage of the ad-blockolipse, I've decided to implement Pi-Hole.

I have a Pi Zero W 1.1 and it only does 2.4Ghz wifi. At home I tend to force everything to 5Ghz to help with the problems I have with local interference. I was looking at the 2 but that is also only 2.4Ghz if I understand correctly.

So, I've been pondering which alternative, including potentially hooking up a USB network adaptor to the 1.1 (if it can support the power draw of a USB network adaptor via a micro-usb to usb converter) and I thought I'd ask on the forum for thoughts on the various ways to go... even going to a full Pi, but potentially an older one with a lower power draw.

Grateful for thoughts please.
