X10 R9000 Wireless Roaming

I recently changed to a X10 and had previous wireless roaming setup. The 2.4 band is fine. However with Netgear wifi analystics app I can See 2 different 5ghz bands. They are named Identical. Anyone have any suggestions? The security is the same also.

    Hi itskamel,

     

    The R9000 does not support wireless roaming. It will be listed as a different network even if you name it same as other networks.

    Hi itskamel,

     

    On your device network settings, can you detect two 5Ghz?

        Hi itskamel,

         

        Your computer should support AD connection for you to able to connect to the 2nd 5Ghz.
