Roku connecting at 2.4G instead of 5G
Hey guys. So far my Orbi has been working flawlessly since July but I had a question. I see my Roku Ultra connects to the 2.4G freq yes it's in the basement directly underneath the Orbi Satellite. I ...
I have a Roku 3 purchased in 2012, and 2 brand new Roku Express. None of them show the 5G SSID when I perform the scan from Roku Setup.

I want to dump DirecTV and go with streaming, but I rarely get over 26M DL speed without Roku on the 2.4G SSID. I am between 80M and 112M on 5G, which what I would prefer to connect to... Is there a way to get the Nighthawk to run 802.11n? Am I stuck with the channels offered in the Netgear Configurator?
Any suggestions on how to get Roku to run on the Netgear 5G would very much appreciated!
Roku express only works with 2.4, and it will not work with 5.0.
Recently upgraded my R6700v2 firmware with smart connect.
By enabling the smart connect feature, my Roku express will not connect to the router anymore. So that feature is useless. Have disabled it already.
Please let me know if this help and if you can add something to it. Thank you.
