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.

So its created automatically? but named the same? no where to change the name of the 2nd 5ghz network?

 

I am currently showing 2 5ghz networks. the 60hz network is named with a -60hz on the end of it. are you refering to the 60hz network?

The r9000 has band one is a 2.4 ghz band, band two is a 5 ghz band, band three is a 60ghz AD band. Here is a link for the product sheet of the router look at page 13

may be you are seeing a old image from your old router or another router

Re: X10 R9000 Wireless Roaming

I guess it could be one of the access points. is there any software you can recomend that can help me pin point what device this is coming from? My phone is the one that sees 2 5ghz networks. also i seen it on a frends phone. I never had this happen until i switched to the r9000. previously i was using a EA9500. so i was just assuming that it was the router.

Re: X10 R9000 Wireless Roaming

after checking it is not one of the access points. it is the r9000 that is seperating itself. when i use wifianalystics it shows my other 2 access points under the same name and channel numbers. the r9000 is not listed under it but another by itself.. any help would be appreciated.

So it just doesnt support it on the 5ghz band? Because the 2.4 doesn't do that.
