New to nighthawk ac1900
Hello and hope you can help, just got a new nighthawk ac1900 and when searching for router on iPhone 2 come up but when searching by blue ray player 1 comes up. Are both the same speed? Thanks
Ok as of now I have everything on the regular one without the dash. That's cause all the blu ray players found them. Was thinking of putting all phones and tablets on the 5g one don't know. Thanks a bunch

They will get faster speeds if you do. But the distance 5G reaches is shorter.
If you have an R7000 you can turn on the smartconnect feature. Then the -5G will go away (only one network name will appear), and the devices+router will pick the one the like best. So you could try that.
If you don't have an R7000 let us know what you do have.
