dual band wifi router
I am looking to add my own router instead of the new Spectrum router they just installed. I can't have a router that selects either 2.4 or 5ghz. I need one where I can choose which device uses 2.4 ...
The R6850 is a dual band router that doesn't have smart connect so the bands aren't connected with the same ssid unless you set them the same.
so you have the option of using either band.
R6850 i believe is the wifi router number.
Spectrum modem unknown.
Using with oc windows 10 broadband.
I need dual band to use 2.4 for galaxy tab a 10 and simplisafe cameras. Also need newer devices to link only to 5ghz..
