Depending on your network router and AP’s you can run multiple bands on the same SSID. The A6200 has a ‘band preference’ setting to ‘prefer a.’ This will tell the card to connect at the higher rate if available. If you have multi AP’s you may also want to set the ‘roaming tendency’ to ‘moderate.’ Windows and the A6200 will sometimes continual search for the best connection every few seconds. If the card decides to roam because it things the other AP is better, your connection will be paused as it re-authenticates/reconnects, resulting in an overall slow response to the user. Removing the option to make bad decisions improves performance. It will need roaming ability if an AP fails, but these settings do not exclude roaming, it should only reduce it.
