RBR750, change a device from 2.4 to 5.8 network?

Hi there, I have two computers on my network, one on the 2.4 and one on the 5.8. I'd like them both on the same network (I'm assuming 5.8) for fast file transfers (I transfer 30-100 GBs on occasion, and USB drives are not an option unfortunately)

 

Can anyone provide some advice?  

 

Thanks!

    Be sure the wifi adapters support 5Ghz. 

    Most wifi devices pick and choose which frequency to connect too for dual band devices. 

     

    Also try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

     

    Be sure that CTS and RTS values are changed to 2347 under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
