Chapter 3: Advanced Configuration
Simultaneous Networks
For more wireless bandwidth, the Router can create two
simultaneous yet separate Wireless-N networks, one using
the Wireless-N 5 GHz band and one using the Wireless-N
2 .4 GHz band . You can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to
easily configure and connect to both networks (refer to
Wi-Fi Protected Setup, page 21), or you can manually
configure the Router .
If you use manual configuration, then set up each network
with the following:
Unique Network Name (SSID)
•
Wireless security
•
5 GHz or 2.4 GHz Wireless Security, page 22)
Decide which computers and other wireless devices
should join which network . Wireless-N devices support
both the 5 GHz and 2 .4 GHz bands, so they can join either
the 5 GHz or 2 .4 GHz network . Wireless-G and Wireless-B
devices support only the 2 .4 GHz band, so they should
join the 2 .4 GHz network . Wireless-A devices support only
the 5 GHz band, so they should join the 5 GHz network .
For the 5 GHz network, configure all computers and other
wireless devices with the same 5 GHz Network Name
(SSID) and wireless security settings . For the 2 .4 GHz
network, configure all computers and other wireless
devices with the same 2 .4 GHz Network Name (SSID) and
wireless security settings .
NOTE: Make sure each network uses a unique
Network Name (SSID) .
