Your new WLAN network
The Magic-Box has two WLAN frequency ranges (dualband): 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, that can be used
for wireless data transmission.
> The new 5GHz network has significantly less interferences and allows a much higher data
transmission rate than the Usual 2.4 GHz network. This makes this network particularly
adapted for high-performance applications such as video signals.
> The 2.4 GHZ network usually has a wider reach and is compatible with most devices. This
network is recommended for connecting smartphones and computers.
If a given device is compatible with both frequencies, it will automatically select the most
suitable frequency range (this depends on the connection quality as well as on its availability).
In case you need to choose by yourself if a device should be connected to the 2.4 GHz or the 5
GHz network, please proceed as described on page 30 «Defining different WLAN names (SSID)
for the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz networks (optional)».
