Sorry for the vague title, if you have come this far, hoping you can help me with a few queries that I have:
- When I look on the app, I can see (kind of) all of the devices connected to each satellite. Most of them are showing as 'unknown' and I'm wondering if there is a way to understand what is what? If so, can they then be renamed? In theory I could disconnect everything and re-add one by one, but if you can't rename, it's not really worth it
- Following on from the above, is it possible to then tell a certain device to connect to a certain satellite? There seems to be a heavy bias on my wireless devices connecting to the router/satellite downstairs when the devices are permantently upstairs and thus it would make sense that they connect to the upstairs satellite.
- Are you able to tell a device whether it should connect to 2.5ghz or 5ghz?
Sorry for all of the questions, overall my network is running well, but I feel that with some housekeeping it could be better/slicker.
Thanks in advance.
