2.4 G and 5 G - cannot get my orbi router & 2 satellites all under one 'network'
I set up my system. Created the network name. On my iPhone when I go into settings and look under the Wi-Fi section I see several network's named "unknown". When I look at the IP address or Mac...
- THANK YOU!! Man I please ask you another question? Since that network does not technically have a name, are my devices going to know that they can use the 5 GHz channel? I'm sorry I'm so stupid when it comes to this stuff :-)
Both channel 48 and 157 are 5GHz (by definition, 2.4GHz channels only go up to 11 in the US and 14 internationally). The lower-numbered one is the Orbi wifi network, the higher-numbered one is the Orbi's backhaul-to-satellite connection.
