How to specify 2.4 vs 5g on Orbi RBX852
I had a Nighthawk previously and it recently died on us so we picked up an Orbi and I was told very specifically that we would be able to separate the 2.4 and 5G channels because for some reason 2.4 ...
I'd also recommend giving it a few days after setup to stabilize. When I first install mesh systems, more of my devices tend to end up on 2.4ghz and then later (after some usage) bandsteer to the higher 5ghz. Even my roku/android tv devices do this. 'm not sure exactly what protocol those devices are using to choose 2.4ghz/5ghz but give it a little time.
do keep in mind that the 2.4ghz hitting 30mbps is about correct. Its a slow network and sensitive to interference. Luckily, most gaming doesn't take a whole lot of bandwidth and is more about latency .
