Remember, the 2.4 GHz network will provide better coverage but is more likely to be interfered with while the 5 GHz network will have shorter ranges, but can sometimes achieve faster speeds because of less interference (5 GHz also won't travel through walls or windows as well as 2.4 GHz).

Should I combine my 2.4 and 5Ghz same SSID?
The advantage of using the same SSID is that your devices can roam between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz and pick what they use. It is easy to set up on your devices and seems care free. ... The advantage of using the same SSID is that your devices can roam between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz and pick what they use.
What should connect to 2.4 GHz or 5Ghz?
Ideally, you should use the 2.4GHz band to connect devices for low bandwidth activities like browsing the Internet. On the other hand, 5GHz is the best suited for high-bandwidth devices or activities like gaming and streaming HDTV.
What is 5Ghz band steering?
Band steering is a technique used in dual-band WiFi deployments to encourage dual-band client devices, such as most modern smartphones, tablets, laptops, and PCs, to use the less-congested and higher capacity 5 GHz band.
Should I Synchronise 2.4 GHz and 5Ghz settings?
Should I separate my 2.4 GHz and 5GHz? ... Almost all current wireless devices support both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies. Older 2.4Ghz only devices will just connect to the 2.4Ghz frequency and not even see the 5Ghz frequency, so having the same SSID will work fine for them.
How do I use Comcast 2.4 and 5Ghz at the same time?
Using the Admin Tool
- Connect to your WiFi network.
- Go to Gateway > Connection > Wi-Fi. To change your Channel Selection, select Edit next to the WiFi channel (2.4 or 5 GHz) that you'd like to change, click the radio button for the channel selection field, then select your desired channel number. ...
- Select Save Settings.
Do dual band routers switch automatically?
The downside is less manual control over your network, and fewer troubleshooting options should something go wrong. While most routers now automatically combine the two bands under a single name you can usually turn this feature off in the settings allowing you to choose which band your devices connect to.
How do I change from 5GHz to 2.4 GHz?
To connect your Android device to a 2.4 GHz network:
Unlock your device and tap the Settings app. Tap Network & Internet > Wi-Fi. Enable WiFi by tapping Use WiFi at the top. Select a 2.4 GHz WiFi network.
How do I separate 2.4 and 5GHz on Virgin Media?
Re: Can't split wifi between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
Log in to the Hub. Advanced Settings > Wireless Signal > click 'Disable Channel Optimization' > Click 'Apply Changes'. You can leave the passwords the same as they are. Log out of the Hub then reboot using this method ...
Why is my 5GHz slower than 2.4 GHz?
A 5GHz wireless LAN will almost always be slower than 2.4 GHz - the 5GHz frequencies are subject to greater attenuation so that you end up with a weaker signal at the same distance. Given the same levels of noise, a weaker signal results in a lower SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and a lower quality connetcion.
Should I turn Band steering off?
Band Steering will intelligently move your devices from the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network based on usage, speed, coverage and distance. ... If you choose to turn Band Steering off, it will allow you to create two separate networks (or, SSID's) which could have their own passwords and names.
Is Band steering good or bad?
In practice, band steering is a bit unreliable. Different routers and devices react to changes in signal strength and quality in a lot of different ways, and it's almost impossible to predict if they will make good band choices.
What is band steering in router?
Band steering is functionality that automatically steers anyone connecting to a wireless network to the best frequency band available and supported, thereby optimizing performance for the client.
