    Yes and no. Sometimes it switches in the same place and my link speed drops significantly and sometimes when I move. Honestly, the reason I was trying to fiddle with the bands is to maintain a higher and constant link speed.

Thanks for the help and if you have any other ideas or find another solution, please do let me know.
