Netgear Nighthawk X6 router problems
I recently upgraded my internet speed from Xfinity. I have the "blast" package which is 105mbps download. I had an older router which was having trouble with the fast speeds so i bought the Netgear...
A couple things.
1. What actual router did you get? look at the label.X6 isn't a model
2. what firmware is on it?
3. what modem/gateway is it connected to?
4. Are you using smart connect? (combines all the ssid's into one) If so, disable that and name the ssid's their own name and then you can choose which band each device connects to. Otherwise devices steer themselves. Or you can leave it enabled and let them bandsteer. In windows pc's, usually in the device manager, you can go into your wireless card settings and change it to prefer 5ghz band.
