    Enabling Fastlane means that one band is used for the uplink ot the primary router, and the other band for the wireless client access.

     

    If 5GHz is configured for FastLane, the 5 GHz radio is exclousively used for the link to the primary WiFi, while the 2.4 GHz is used for the extender WiFi client access.
