2.4 G and 5 G - cannot get my orbi router & 2 satellites all under one 'network'
I set up my system. Created the network name. On my iPhone when I go into settings and look under the Wi-Fi section I see several network's named "unknown". When I look at the IP address or Mac addresses ( I don't know which one of those numbers I'm seeing on my iPhone), I see several networks marked as "unknown" and they are the 5 GHz signals coming from my router. That leads me to believe that both frequencies are not bundled under my single network. You will see in the picture below the name of my network is my last name, Patton. You will see that the 2 GHz sIgnal IS part of my network but the one right underneath is coming from the SAME router (look at the IP address's. The 2 GHz ( Channel 48) is part of my network but the 5 GHz signal (channel 157) is not part of my network even though it's coming from the same router???? Does anyone have any idea what I'm trying to say, LOL? I'm clueless when it comes to tech. Need help please :-)
