FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR DUAL
BAND WIRELESS ROUTER
What is a Dual Band Wireless Router?
Unlike the Single Band wireless router which utilizes only the 2.4GHz
frequency, the Dual Band wireless router uses both 2.4Ghz and
5.0GHz wireless frequencies and provides users with a better surng
experience due to high speed performance achieved on the 5.0GHz
frequency.
How do I connect to the 5.0GHz frequency?
First, you must ensure that your device (eg Mobile phone, notebook,
PC, tablets etc) has a Dual Band support. Perform a wireless network
scan on your device. If both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz SSIDs are
detected, this indicates that your device is Dual Band supported. Simply
connect to the 5.0GHz SSID to achieve better speed performance.
Note: SSID means Service Set identier. SSID differentiates one
wireless local area network (WLAN) from another, so all access points
and devices attempting to connect to same WLAN must connect to
the same SSID to enable effective roaming.
How many SSIDs are being broadcasted by the Dual Band
Wireless Router?
The Dual Band wireless router will be broadcasting two SSIDs ie. One
for the 2.4GHz and the other for the 5.0GHz frequency respectively.
Why am I not being connected to the 5.0GHz SSID at all times?
If you have congured more than one SSID to connect to your device,
there is a chance for your end-device ie. mobile phone/PC/notebook/
tablets to select from the permissible range of SSID congured,
depending on signal strength, last connected SSID etc. This choice of
SSID connectivity is device independent and is based on the algorithm
designed by the device manufacturer.
