Nighthawk MR70 not showing 5G network?
I've got a MR70 & one satellite, but no 5GHz network showing - how do I enable it? Also, using I'm using the iWiFi app on my iphone to check signal strength, speed, etc., as I prepare to cut the cab...
Connected to the system, I've got a couple of Samsung Smart TVs, an iPhone 14, a Galaxy S22 (or something like that), an iPad, a Dell XPS laptop, a Macbook Pro, a Brother HL-2280 & a Netgear N300 range extender out in the garage..
House is about 2000 sq ft, the base is connected to an Arris Surfboard SB6190 cable modem that's capable of up to 1 Gbps. T the satellite is on the opposite side of the house (30+ ft away), on the same floor with 3 or 4 sheetrock walls between them. Base & satellite are on firmware version V1.0.3.34. I'm using the cable that came with it, assuming it would have been the right one for this setup.
5GHz channel is 44, 2.4 GHz is set at auto. My previous WiFi router (WNDR3700v5) had them named with 2.4 or 5 GHz in the same. I set that up so long ago, I don't remember if I had to name them separately or not,
I'm going to install the speedtest app on my Apple TVs & will get back with those results.
Lets turn OFF the NG Range extender.
