connected devices

Can I direct specific devices to desired radio channels(2.4ghz or 5ghz)? Why does a device show connected to the router when it has been dead for weeks?

If you're using smart connect, devices can switch between the 2 bands. 
If you're wanting devices on certain bands, you can disable smart connect and choose which to connect to. 

Not sure what you mean about a device being dead for weeks. a little more detail might help on that one

i mean the device, a tablet, is dead as in has not been charged or used in weeks.

the attached devices will show devices that have disconnected for a quite a while afterwards.
