The subnet mask 255.255.252.0 is equivalent to the CIDR notation /22, which means that 22 bits are used for the network prefix and 10 bits are used for the host part. To calculate the number of addresses that this subnet mask provides, we can use the formula2n−2, wherenis the number of bits in the host part. In this case,n=10, so the number of addresses is210−2=1024−2=1022. The subtraction of 2 is because the first and the last addresses are reserved for the network identifier and the broadcast address, respectively. Therefore, the subnet mask 255.255.252.0 provides 1022 usable addresses for hosts, plus 2 reserved addresses, for a total of 1024 addresses.References:IP Subnet Calculator,How many host addresses are available on the network … - ITExamAnswers

The PCs are not able to successfully establish bidirectional communication because they are on different subnets and their default gateways are not configured correctly. The default gateway is the IP address of the router interface that connects to the same subnet as the PC. The default gateway allows the PC to send packets to destinations outside its own subnet. In this case, PC-1 and PC-2 are on the 172.16.30.0/24 and 172.16.31.0/24 subnets respectively, and the router interfaces are 172.16.30.254 and 172.16.31.254 respectively. Therefore, the correct default gateway for PC-1 is 172.16.30.254 and the correct default gateway for PC-2 is 172.16.31.254. Changing PC-2’s default gateway to 172.16.31.254 will enable the communication between PC-1 and PC-212 References:

 The 5 GHz band is a radio frequency band used for Wi-Fi communications. It has a higherdata bandwidth than the 2.4 GHz band, but a shorter range and less penetration through walls. The 5 GHz band is divided into several sub-bands, each with a different set of channels. One of these sub-bands is the U-NII-3 band, which covers the frequency range from 5725 MHz to 5850 MHz. This sub-band contains 24 non-overlapping channels, numbered from 149 to 172. Channels 149 to 161 are part of the 5 GHz band and can be used for Wi-Fi communications. Channels 165 and 169 are restricted to indoor use only, and channel 173 is not allowed in some regions. Channels 12, 13, and 14 are not part of the 5 GHz band, but belong to the 2.4 GHz band, which has a different set of channels and regulations. U-NII-5 is not a valid sub-band name, but a proposed extension of the 5 GHz band to include the frequency range from 5925 MHz to 7125 MHz. This extension is not yet approved or implemented, and therefore not part of the 5 GHz band. References: List of WLAN channels, What’s the Difference Between 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi (and Which Should I Use)?, What is the difference between 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz wireless frequencies?
