A dual-band wireless router can send signals in the 2G and 5G frequencies at the same time. If the two frequencies have different signal names, terminals in the corresponding frequencies can connect to any signal to access the Internet. So what if the two frequencies set the same SSID?
We will summarize the search and connection signals of wireless terminals supporting two frequencies, as shown below:
Mobile phone
/Pad
Mobile terminals that support dual-band features, such as iPhone 6/6 S, can only find one signal and cannot differentiate the frequency band.
Notebook
/
All-in-one
For example, if a Windows/Mac OS laptop uses its own dual-band network card, only one signal can be found and the frequency band cannot be differentiated.
TP-LINK
Dual-band wireless network card
The client software of our dual-band wireless network card can search for two signals, as shown in the following figure:
Based on the above comparison results, we recommend that you set the wireless signal name of the dual-band wireless router,
Set2.4 GBAnd5GSet the signal to a different name.To avoid the case that cannot be distinguished during use.
Disadvantages: Disadvantages5G coverage is not as good as 2G, and mobile phones and other signals are not good terminals. In many cases, 2G is better, so that the driver may choose 5G networks with weak signals; instead, it would be better to connect only 2 GB directly. Mobile phones generally do not care about latency or bandwidth.
In addition, the SSID is the same. People do not know that you are buying a dual-band router!
