Wifi 6 Router
Hello I was very happy with the Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 being able to successfully set up. One thing I notice was that you can not manually select the band (2.4GHz or 5GHz) I can only set...
that's it exactly. Bandsteering can move device between bands based on signal strength and bandwidth needs.
Thanks for confirming.
That is awesome!
I have not yet set up the satellite and I am not sure where to set it up...
How far is ideal from the router?
Thank you
You need at least 30 ft between the router and satellites for the roaming to function properly.
In terms of placement. I'd try several spots. I moved my setup around repeatedly to optimize placement. Reason why is things in walls (hvac, plumbing, etc) can create dead spots interference and I'm a bit OCD about optimizing :)
If I find that I am not getting a good wifi signal at a certain area of the house does that mean setting up the satellite there would not be the ideal place?
