[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1568180, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Jake[/B] - thanks for the information - attached is a screen capture from an app called [I]WiFi Explorer[/I] showing my 4 networks on an AirPort Extreme (plus my neighbors) - this was from my laptop in another room, so the lower signal strengths - the laptop is currently on the 5 GHz band, channel 149 (highlighted in blue - crossed out my name). Now being new to a dual band router last spring, I did not give each band a different name, but the laptop seems to automatically go to the 5 GHz one - from your experience will my MBPro (spring 2013 model) always seek this higher band? I'm also wondering about my other devices, such as the Rokus - will need to check? Thanks for any comments. Dave :) . [ATTACH=full]20178[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
