Is there a trick to connect the range extender to the 5 ghz band? Range extender only connects to the 2.4 ghz which is b/g/n. Tried pushing WPS button twice, per directions. Reset devices, no joy. Defeats the purpose of extending AC signal if the extender to router link is b/g/n.
Network details and perf testing below:
Router is NETGEAR R6400. Range extender is NETGEAR EX6920. All devices have been updated with most recent updates (as of 1/21/18).
WIFI performance when connected directly in same room as router using Speedtest app:
5ghz network: 104.77 mbps
2.4ghz network: 36.89 mbps
WIFI performance when connected to extender near upstairs office area, also using Speedtest app:
15.89 mbps best performance testing over both the 2_GEXT and 5_GEXT
Again, the extender is pushing out both 2.4 and 5 ghz signal but it will only connect on the 2.4 band to the router which degrades the performance.
