[QUOTE="Gangelo, post: 928397, member: 64716"] Check the user guide or download it from the TP-Link website if you don't have it. It should have instructions on how to set up the SSID of both your networks (2.4Ghz & 5Ghz transmit separately) and set the same SSID for both. Alternatively you can set your wireless devices to remember both frequencies with different SSID's and they will pick up the strongest each time. Personally, I do not use the same SSID for both frequencies because I do not want them to interfere between bands and if a device is 5GHz capable I want it to use this frequency (less noise). If a device is further away in the house and has weaker reception I connect it to the 2.4Ghz SSID. [/QUOTE]
