RBK12 + Surface, Refuse to connect to 5Ghz
Appreciate some pointers. Just installed the RBK12 mesh (router + satellite), used all the standard settings excep SSID/password and setup was a breeze. Most of my devices connects well but my Mi...
Truly a mystery. The conventional wisdom is that it is the device that chooses how to connect, not the Orbi.
Strange thing happened... i was fiddling settings (but did not change anything) and my Surface connected to the 5Ghz band. Not sure what happened but i'm not complaining since i'm getting fast speeds. Then the power tripped (thunderstorm, unrelated) and once again it reconnected at 2.4Ghz once router/laptop rebooted. And its now stuck at 2.4Ghz again.
Is there a way to split the Orbi router into separate SSID for 2.4 & 5Ghz? Then i can just connect to the 5Ghz band?
