two bands and one SSID with Password

The back of the router indicated a SSID and Password.  Do I use the same for both bands?

    Abosolutly you can keep the bands seperate and your can create unique SSID's aswell as unique or seperate passwords for each band :)

  • As long as you have enabled Smart Connect under the wirless settings on the router you will be able use both bands and one password and SSID. It will use the default network SSID and password details if you have not changed them.

    • I would rather not use Smart Connect.  Once I get access to the unit on the web, will I be then able to change to whatever I want for either band?
