Hello All,
I had fios installed 2 days ago because I really needed the higher speeds for streaming. All of my tablets and phones recognize and easily connect to both the 2.4 and 5g networks. Both of my Android TV boxes (mbox, qbox) only recognize and connect to the 2.4 speed. I've tried setting my g1100 router/modem to every possible specific channel but to no avail. Is there any other way to get them to recognize 5g? I've also noticed my connected box upstairs rarely has more than 2 bars (Wi-Fi range). I'm not really noticing a huge lag but I'd prefer better range... Ideas? And finally, the installer suggested I only connect devices that are in one spot like a Tv (rather than a phone which may move throughout the home) to the 5g network as they don't hold connection as well. I've never heard of that before... Is that really true? Thanks for taking the time to read/answer.
