When all 3 bands are active, do you see 3 different wifi connections? Meaning 1 2.4 and 2 5 Ghz? Or are the 2 5 Ghz both under 1 name?

If smart connect is enabled, you will see one ssid for the 5Ghz channel. If you disable or uncheck smart connect, you will have two ssids for the 5Ghz bands - one for each radio. To answer your question you can disable smart connect and have 3 separate ssids to connect to. You can then control which radio each device or client connects to.

With Smart Connect turned on you will see 2 SSIDs, one for the 2.4 and one for the 5GHz. (The router then uses Smart Connect to connect each device to the best 5GHz channel, depending on the device and the current number of devices on each of the channels.)

I just received and installed a Nighthawk X6 last night for my home. All is working well, but should Smart Connect be enabled or disabled? It seems like a pretty simple question on what will work best. We have 4 smart TV's, 2-3 people in the house, watch Netflix and Amazon Prime on the Smart TV's and normal cell phone, computer and IPad connections. I will say that so far, this router seems to be working great, I am just wondering what settings to tweak or not to tweak.

It has no issues connecting to wifi on the 2.4 ghz band. I never tried connecting to the 5 ghz band. Go to freaktab.com, there you well find everything you can ever want to know about the CX-919.

I only used one of them & it's doing very good wirelessly. After one or two years now I'm having som trouble with the one I'm using, it looses signal with my network so I need to reboot it almost everyday.

I use my laptop on seven different WiFi areas I have no problems with any of them. They might have bad WiFi card or they need to up grade the WiFi software.

I have four of these transmitter/receiver sets. At 5.8 GHZ, they may interfere with any other device close by that is also using the same 5.8 GHZ frequency range. However, the nice thing about this particular device is that you can use the little dip-switches to change to a sub 5.8 frequency that is different than the other devices nearby, like a nearby 5.8 GHZ wireless router or 5.8 GHZ cordless phone. For example, my dual-band wireless router has a 5.8 GHZ frequency. So I adjusted each of the Signtek sets to different sub frequencies. This is very easy to do. Problem solved and the four of my sets of Signstek trans/receivers all work fine. I hope this helps... I have four of these transmitter/receiver sets.

No, I Have a dual band router and it only picks up 2.4. In fact that is my last favorite part of this laptop is the wireless. It constantly drops my wifi. It shows connected bit is not. I've bought a new USB wireless and a new w router to make sure it's my network card's issue. Other than that, it's been a good laptop.

It makes another network. Two actually, one for 2.4 and one for 5 gHz. But it does work really well.

This only extends the 2.4 band. If you want both you will need to get the one that is meant for both bands. This is double the price of this one to extend the 5. This one woluld be used if you had multiple floors or long range that didn't get a great signal. The 5 band is more for large throughput versus the 2.4 that is easier (and cheaper) to extend.

It's dual band N. It has 2 separate 802.11N based connections. (2.4 Ghz, 5Ghz) And one for G (2.4 Ghz). It offers higher throughput if you have hardware on the other end that supports dualband N.

Answers see to be conflicting - All our WiFi devices, 2 cell phones, 2 tablets, smart TV, and 2 laptops use 5Ghz. I have a high-end dual band router (ARRIS / Motorola Surfboard SBG6782-AC) and live in a home with lots of stucco walls/wire mesh = very poor wireless reception. I get about 5 Mbps WiFi outside the room where the router is located, but 125 Mbps with ethernet cable. Will this antenna boost the 5Ghz signal or just the 2.4Ghz? Thanks!

I can tell you that I have around 8 devices on the wifi at once at my house, on the N66U and have no issues. I run some on the 5ghz signal and see 450mb/sec connection. 216mb/sec on the 2.4ghz. I'm very impressed with this router.

Hi. You do need two devices. Since it is a Nano Bridge 5, it works on the 5 mghz frequency. The normal WiFi networks operate in the 2.4 mghz range.

After reading a lot of articles in regard to routers in general, it seems to me that assigning separate SSID to each band is desirable so that you can access the different bands from different devices. Actually, one article said, that because a lot is shared in one device, having two different wireless with a band on each would give the best - non-shared - access. If you only have one or two devices, this may not be important. But even with few devices, if some are old and some new, it would be a good idea to give distinct SSID to each band. There is a lot more that could be said, but this is the simple answer.

When you are in the location where you router is located and operating, go to WiFi in your phone settings and turn WiFi off momentarily, and then back on again, to get the phone searching for WiFi signals. If your phone is capable of handling both bands, it will find both bands and show them. Select the band you prefer. If your phone only finds the 2.4 Ghz band, it probably is not a dual N band phone.

I have two of these in use where I live. Both are in bridge mode. I bought them when I was still very limited in my networking knowledge, so any initial issues I had were simply due to my lack of experience. I do not remember ever having issues with hardware. If you are only having issues with 5 GHz, then perhaps you are pushing its range limits? While 5 GHz is awesome, it doesn't have as long of a range that 2.4 GHz does. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24246/~/what-is-the-difference-between-2.4-ghz-%26-5ghz%3F

It's either/or depending on the network that you choose. one will say "networkname" and the other "networkname.5GHz"
