DUAL BAND ROUTERS

I have a cisco 6500 dual band router.
For some reason when going through the setup I can only get my HP 410 to see the guest network and not the primary network. The HP utilities can see it when run from my Notebook but the printer refuses to see it.
On top of that I can see all my neighbors routers as i live in a townhouse development.....
I can connect using the guest network however it is a pain flipping over to it everytime i want to print something.

Hi,
From your router homepage enter the Wireless settings, then select Manual setup.
Either provide the 2.4GHz network a different SSID and connect to it or disable the 5GHz broadcast.
Once both of the printers are connected to the 2.4GHz network you will be able to print, yje HP printer does not support 5.GHz and therefore dannot locate the network:
802.11n can operate in both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz frequency bands (which makes it dual band). However, not all devices that support 802.11n support both frequency bands. So you can't connect a device that uses 802.11n 2.4GHz to a wireless router set to operate at 802.11n 5.0GHz only. All HP printers that support 802.11n use 2.4GHz only

Wifi connectivity - Yosemite and dual band routers (i.e. BT Home Hub)

This is working for me so far after all previous tips on other Discussions proved only to be temporary. This is the only one that enabled my MBP to accept password for the SSID.
From BT Home Hub - 2011!!
The BT Home Hub 4 and Hub 5 are dual band with two wireless frequencies for devices to connect to: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. On both Hubs, the default setting has the same network name (or SSID) for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Connecting a typical 5GHz-capable device to this single SSID will automatically connect the device to both the 2.4 and 5Ghz frequency at the same time.
However, not all dual band devices behave the same way and some device software does not cope well with a single SSID for both frequencies.
As a result:
the device may not connect wirelessly to the Hub
it may not connect to 5GHz frequency even in the same room
the wireless connection might be intermittent
the wireless connection might be very slow
Devices where there are known to be problems include:
Some Apple devices including iPhone 5 and Apple TV
some Android smartphones
Xbox
For some devices you can solve this problem by having different network names (SSIDs) for the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz bands. To set this up, follow these steps:
Open your web browser on a device connected to the Hub and go to bthomehub.home. This will open the Hub Manager
Click on Advanced Settings and enter your Hub admin password when prompted. Unless you've changed it, you'll find the default Hub password on the Hub settings card
Click on Continue to Advanced Settings
Click on Wireless
Click on 5GHz
Change 'Sync with 2.4 Ghz' to No
Change the 'Wireless SSID' to a new name (we recommend just adding '5GHz' to the end of the existing SSID name so you'll know which one is which)
Click Apply to save the changes
After a few minutes you should see two BT Home Hub SSIDs in the list of networks on your device. All of your devices will still automatically connect to the original SSID name, which will be the 2.4GHz.
If you have existing dual band devices you want to connect to 5GHz only, you'll need to connect them to the 5GHz SSID that you've renamed. AND RESTART the hub - PJ
Note- Even though wireless speeds at 5GHz can be significantly faster than 2.4GHz, the range of a 5GHz connection is not as good. As a result, you may need your device closer to your Hub (than you'd need to when using the 2.4GHz SSID) to get the best performance possible."

Sadly it didn't last...
I just posted this on BT Home Hub users forum. and the big Yosemite/wifi Discussion
"Sorry to awaken this topic from the dead....
I am using HH5a, opted in to FON, and Os10.10 MacBookPro
I have no problem whatsoever connecting and staying connected to 2.4ghz
I struggle since OS10.10 to either connect or stay connected to 5ghz
A persistent issue with trying to connect to 5ghz is the response "invalid password" Only occasionally in the past 3 months has this not been a problem
the app WifiExplorer shows today that the only other networks on the same channels as my networks are the FON wifiX - both of which I presume are using my router/wifi as when I manually change channels these move with me.
Signal strength on 2.4 ghz is between 77 - 85, 5ghz 80+/- 1
Noise and signal noise ratio a lot higher on 2.4 than 5
(There is lots more info on wifi explorer but I dont know its relevance/meaning)
I have tried using manual channel selection and Smart Wireless and can't see much difference in 5ghz connection
Given a choice I would prefer to stay in FON but if there is overwhleming evidence that these hot spot networks are affecting mine, I would consider opting out. Views/ guidance please. Thanks. And a Happy New Year too."
IS ANYBODY ELSE using BT Home Hub5a having this same issue? I BELIEVE it has largely if only been since upgrading to 10.10.1 but can't swear to it.
IS IT SIGNIFICANT THAT SOMETIMES THE PASSWORD TO 5GHZ network is accepted and other times not?

HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-all-in-one printer & dual band router

Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to confirm whether this printer is compatible with my router which is a dual band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I am not able to connect it to the internet. The box says that the printer is compatible only with 2.4 GHz routers. Would the fact that my router is dual band mean that it will not work with the printer?

Hello @JMHouston , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are looking into your options for a dual band router. I would love to help.
The printer will only connect to a 2.4 GHz broadcast. To quote this document on Print | Rate this content HP Printers - Tips and Workarounds for Common Wireless Network Printer Iss...
Dual band routers provide both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHZ frequency ranges. HP printers connect to the 2.4GHz frequency band and the 20 MHz bandwidth only. Many dual band routers let devices connected to the 2.4 GHz band communicate with devices connected to the 5.0 GHz band. But not all routers support this feature.
To manage the different bands and what devices connect to each, try assigning a unique SSID (network name) to each band. For example, name the 2.4 GHz band to “Mynetwork” and the 5.0 GHz band to “Mynetwork-5G”.
Communication and connectivity issues might occur with the printer connected to the 2.4 GHz band and the computer connected to the 5 GHz band. Try connecting the computer to the 2.4 GHz band.
As long as your router is broadcasting both network channels, you should have no issue connecting.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

Macbook Wireless Driver Incompatible with Dual Band Access Points & PPTP VPN with MPPE Enabled.

Configuration:
Local Client: Macbook Pro 8,1 (Dual boot 10.8.2 & Windows 7 x64)
Local WLAN AP: WiFi dual band access points (I do not have admin access to)
ISP: TWC Road Runner
External VPN Server: Poptop PPTPD server v1.3.4 (I do have admin access to)
Problem:
There is a Macbook BCM4331 driver incompatibility that spans across both OS X and Windows 7 when connecting to a PPTP VPN through a local dual band access point.
The same Macbook (booted into either OS X 10.8 or Windows 7) cannot maintain a ping/connection to the PPTP server when connected to a local dual band (2.4GHZ/5GHZ) WiFi access point.
Macbook connects and remains connected to the PPTP server (as shown in connection status,) but no traffic will pass through VPN once the connection has "dropped" internet traffic. Flood ping to the VPN server initially replies with expected <30ms ping time. Once internet traffic is passed across VPN, ping fails and traffic stops completely.
• Any other wifi client machines & OS using same dual band AP can connect to VPN and maintain flood ping to PPTP server and pass all traffic or even split tunnel. I've tested different computers using Windows XP, Windows 7, Android 4.1, iOS 6.0.1 etc. No problems at all.
• Macbook can maintain flood ping and pass traffic to PPTP server when connected to a different standard 2.4GHZ access point.
• Macbook can maintain flood ping and pass traffic to PPTP server when connected via Ethernet on same LAN as dual band AP's.
• Macbook can maintain connection/ping by disabiling MPPE encryption on the PPTP server. Running an unencrypted VPN is not an option for me however.
• Macbook can maintain connection/ping whenn booted into Windows 7 natively and disabling 2.4 band through Device Manager > Advanced tab > Disable bands > "Disable 802.11g/b".
To fix this problem, I would propose that Apple allow OS X users to disable 2.4GHZ in OS X. Doing so should allow PPTP + MPPE when connected via dual band routers as it does in Windows 7. I think asking them to rewrite the driver for OS X & Windows 7 is asking too much.
Credits:
I have been through so many forums, reconfigured the Macbook, the PPTP server, reformatted, tested and tweaked until my eyes bled. Here is a collection of threads of others with similar problems:

I haven't heard anything back yet. I will update if I do.
Being that Apple takes pride in selling their own computers and writing their own drivers & software to match, the Macbook with OS X 10.8 should be a super polished, finely tuned machine. It's aggravating when I can't do relatively simple things which I can do on any other device & OS:
If you've read the first post, you know it's not possible to pass PPTP + MPPE on the Macbook Pro 8,1 with OS X 10.6+ or Windows 7 when connected to a dual band AP.
OS X also imposes a 130mbps limit on the 2.4Ghz band. I have no problems connecting @ 450mbps on 2.4Ghz with Windows 7. The range is much better than 5Ghz as expected when there aren't any neighboring AP's for interference. I've also never received interference with Bluetooth devices.
There have been a couple times where some things don't plain work right and the flexibility to fix them as an "Apple knows better than the user" policy is restricted. In most cases, perhaps Apple does know better. In this case, there is definitely a problem with the BCM4331 driver. If it "just worked" this topic wouldn't have been created.

Dual band wireless 2.4 and 5 ghz not supported

well first off i cant believe this 2013 model that cost 800.00 doesn't support both radio 2.4 ghz frequency and 5.0 frequency for media. i bought a dual band router that creates 2 networks one for email and internet and the other for media. i dont know what to do because it will not get the download speed i buy 200mbps. only about 100mbps. The wireless network adapter and wireless frequency of 5.0 needs to be installed in this computer. I am so frustrated with all the media out there and technology dual band routers have been around for 5 years or so. so why did hp neglect to incorporate what the routers aare doing. I have my 2 smart tvs, blueray player, cell phone, and laptop part of only one network that does not include video. and i am supposed to have a working nertwork. thats a joke and a big problem thanks to hp. does anyone know what i need to do to this pc to get the 5.0ghz band frequency come out of this computer and i guess i need a new wireless network adapter that accommodates both frequencies. but heres the problem everything is housed in the monitor because it is an all in one. at least the old towers you could open and get a picture of what was inside the tower and what was available to add to to the empty spaces or slots. i am not going to be able to open this up and install a chip for the network adapter and hardware to send and receive a 5.0 frequency and all the channels that go with it. any advice

ii appreciate your reply but routers started wireless connections using dual band about 5 years ago andd if its so cheap to get then hp should have the technology as well. the computer manufacturers know about this technology long before it actually comes out so probably about 2008 hp already knew about thee dual band wifi connection and they probably were instrumental in getting the 5.0 frequency because it supports media and has not been used as much as 2.4ghz. they just didnt want to spend the money or time to install the necessary hardware and software to keep the frequencies from conflicting and screwing up the channels putting out the data and video. that would involve additional software and hardware to keep static and channel conflicts from causing data and video interference. I will contact hp and ask when will they have the dual frequency wifi hardware adapters and software available on there computers and can i get it installed in this one

How do I use the remote app on a dual band network?

There are 2 routers in my home. One is dual band (SSID: NETGEAR49-5G). This one is being used as a 5GHz access point while the other (SSID: NETGEAR49) is being used as a 2.4GHz extender. However I can't use the Remote app to control my iTunes library, regardless of which router I connect to. I can't even use a passcode to add my library because I just keep getting an error saying I entered the wrong code. Strangely everything's fine if I turn off the 2.4GHz router, but I don't want to have to keep doing that. Is there any way I can configure the two routers so I can use the Remote app and other network-based services??

Dual Band (5ghz and 2.4 ghz) Wireless Network Config and Dropped Connection

Hi, I have an Airport Extreme (802.11N) and a Motorola WR850G (802.11A/B/G) that I'm trying to connect in a dual band setup - but something in my setup is causing the Airport to drop it's connection (before the connection is dropped - everything works great). After I lose connectivity, both routers show up in my list of wireless networks, the light stays green, but I don't have local or internet access. When I try to reconnect, the log on times out. Also, the Airport isn't displayed in the Airport Utility (light is green on the airport itself though). Unplugging and resetting the Airport Allows all computers on the network to connect locally and to the internet for a few hours until the connection drops again. While it is up and running, I have no problems streaming movies off the connected Airdisk, navigating the internet, and connecting both N and G devices to the network.
I'd love to hear from you if you've gotten a similar setup to work, and if possible, have you provide the settings you used to make this work. I've looked around quite a bit and haven't seen a detailed description of the process (even from the Apple documentation). Also, advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated since my wireless networking knowledge is pretty basic.
My configuration:
Time Warner cable modem connected to the Airport's WAN port. WR850G connected by LAN port to Airport's LAN port. Bridge Mode check box selected on WR850G. Airport setup for 802.11n (5Ghz). Unique SSIDs to determine which network is 'N'. Same password for both networks. My Firmware and utilities are up to date.
Computers/Devices on Network:
Two Macs with Airport Extreme N cards. A Vista PC with a D-link N card (only compatible with 2.4 Ghz so it connects to the G network). A Vista PC with a GB ethernet card connected to the Airport Extreme. Various other G devices like iPod touches and an old iBook. Airdisk connected to the Airport Extreme.
Thanks,

I removed the second router (Moto wr850g) and everything seems to be working smoothly. It must be some settings on that one that are causing the problem, but I haven't been able to get it configured correctly. I noticed there were some IP conflicts with my wireless wanting to use the old Moto router IP and trying to assign my Mac an IP from that router. Does anyone know specifically what needs to be disabled on a router in bridge mode? Since I have a third party router there aren't any handy wizards that can configure it for me.
Thanks again

Configuration for dual-band WLAN?

I have an X230T with Intel N-6205 and 2x2 antennas. AFAIK it is capable of parallel WLAN connection on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz for maximum bandwidth. How should I configure my WLAN to take advantage of this. Should both 2.4 and 5 GHz networks have the same SSID?
X320T running Windows 8 Pro x64

Actually, those settings I provided you are from my Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 adapter so some settings are a bit different, but it should work for all Intel Wi-Fi cards.

"I also have a secondary router, whose 2.4GHz radio I had set to 20 MHz BW, as there are more other 2.4 GHz WLANs near it. ISTR reading that the narrower BW can actually yield improved throughput under such conditions, and the secondary router has no "auto" BW option. What do you think of this?"
P.S. If I understand "NS offload for WoWLAN" correctly, it seems to be enabled.
At least, the WLAN adapter appears to turn itself on, even with the laptop powered down and connected to a wired ethernet.
As billbolton pointed out, he is 100% correct that "The 2.4GHz WiFi band has become so congested with competing traffic in many densely populated locations that useful 300Mpbs connections are quite unlikely to be achieved."
Based on many networking articles, 300 Mbps is achieved through channel bonding (40 MHz) on both bands. Since channel bonding makes the channels wider, this would actually result to more overlapping with other channels from routers nearby on the 2.4. Channel overlapping should be avoided since it induces more interference thus making your ping spike often as well as frequent reduced throughput and link speed. On the worst case, you will experiece dropped connections. If you absolutely have to work on the 2.4 GHz band with a lot of neighors, you can leave the Wi-Fi adapter settings I provided to be the same, but you have to change the channel width on the router to 20 Mhz only for 2.4 GHz band and leave the 40 MHz channel width on the 5 GHz band. This would cut the speed to 156 / 150 / 144 Mbps on 2.4 GHz band only, but you only occupy 2 adjacent channels from the channel you're broadcasting instead of taking over more than half of available channels using 40 MHz. Like many networking articles online, 40 MHz is ideal for 5 GHz since very few people use that band and there are far more available channels to choose for the 5 GHz without overlapping with other channels nearby.
As for your PS note, the reason the WLAN adapter is awake while the computer is asleep is due to Intel Smart Connect Technology: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/smart-connect-technology.html

Adding Wireless-N-ONLY Time Capsule to Dual-Band Airport Extreme Network?

I have a dual-band airport extreme which I have configured to create both a wireless-a/b/g/n SSID on my network, as well as a second SSID which is Wireless-N-ONLY (meant to be used with my Time Capsule so that all backups to the Time Capsule via Time Machine are only ever done via Wireless-N).
My Airport Extreme is already configured, and now I just have to configure my Time Capsule on my network...
Can someone briefly run through the "assist me" steps in the Airport Utility that I'd want to follow to configure my Time Capsule so that it's available on my dual-band base station's wireless-N-ONLY network and so that it's not transmitting or receiving any other wireless protocol other than wireless-N?
Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your earlier feedback. I now have a dual band TC and the previous dual band EABS and I'm tearing my hair out trying to get these things to play nice! Maybe you can provide some assistance:
1) The TC upstairs is connected to the comcast modem and is the main 'router' in my network. In addition, I'm using the "create wireless network" option on this router to set up both a 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz wireless environment.
2) The AEBS downstairs on the opposite end of the house is connected by ethernet - whole house is wired so I'm feeding from the TC upstairs through a switch in the disti box down to an outlet where I have the AEBS. The cat-5 cable is connected to a LAN port on the back of the AEBS.
3) I have the AEBS set up to extend the wireless network. When I do this it only gives me the ability to select one wireless network (I have the TC configured to call the 5 GHz network something different) - In essence doesn't appear to want to let me extend both bands of the wireless network.
The problem seems to be that once I get all the configurations set I have no connectivity and if I try to open the configuration via Airport Utility, its just a spinning gear and will never open to show the settings. This happens to with both the TC and the AEBS. It's like it's in a loop or something.
I immediately disconnect the AEBS from the network and suddenly all is well again.
I know this seems like a rant, but this has been kicking my a** for two days!! I've just about had it with the constant 'hard reset' of the routers and starting over with configuration. If you have any specific things I should do, or settings that are key to set up both devices to extend my wireless network throughout the house I would be so thankful!!
Thanks,
Don

Kindly Is the Linksys E4200 Dual Band Router compatible with DHCP and VPN ?

Kindly
Is the Linksys E4200 Dual Band Router compatible with DHCP and VPN?
Thanks,

Linksys/Cisco E4200 are compatible with DHCP. Second, these Wireless-N routers are only capable of enabling the VPN traffic to pass through the device. You will need a VPN router and software to create the actual network to connect with your VPN client.

Extend an AE dual-band router with a 2nd AE dbr: will automatic mode work?

I have a new Apple Extreme dual-band router, and it works just great. My N devices all get the maximum bandwidth, and the G devices connect easily as well. I have a section of my house that gets weak reception, and want to extend the network with a second router.
If I bought a second Apple Extreme dual-band router, and configured it to Extend Wireless Network and Allow Wireless Clients, could I then leave it on the default radio mode of Automatic? It seems like either router would then be able to tell if the wireless clients were N or G, but communication between the routers would be N. I want to keep the maximum bandwidth for my N devices.
Thanks in advance

Using a dual band router

I have read messages of people saying they have bought a dual band router. They use that instead of the actiontec for their wifi. The secondary router gives them better performance. Is this a good idea or a waste of money?

It would appear you have the dual antenna N band capable Actiontec MI424WR. This router will provide good signal strength in most dwellings and and will be twice as fast as a single antenna Actiontec B/G band router. I wonder if the folks who recommended an upgrade are doing so based on the performance of Actiontec routers of the same part number but with a single antenna and B/G band connectivity.

I have an older version of the airport extreme, can i still set it up to be a dual band router like the newer versions?

Wondering if an airport extreme router that I bought back in 2009 will function as a dual band router, similar to the newer versions. I wish to run my mac off of the lesser Ghz and the periphery devices off of the other(ipad, iphone). I also have an apple tV, is this possible?

The 2009 model extremes are simultaneous dual band (but the 2007 model was not - it was dual band, but not simultaneous). Your problem is that I know of no way to force a given device onto a given bandwidth on an extreme. Both channels share the same SSID, and a device simple connects via whichever frequency it gets the best connection.
This is unlike other simultaneous dual band wifi routers. I use a netgear wndr4500 (n900), and each radio is assigned a different SSID (and can also be configured independently in terms of security settings, and even turned on or off indepentently). That way, I can force a given dual-band device to connect on a particular frequency by connecting it to that frequency's SSID. The two SSIDs still function over the same subnet, so all 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz connected devices can see eachother on the same DHCP subnet.
But, I do not think you can set up an airport extreme like that - that sort of configuration is simply not an option with those devices.

Connecting dual band netgear extender to dual band...

Hi,
I switched from my Netgear router to HomeHub 3 so I could get BT Sport. I then added a Netgear wireless extender (3500) to push the signal into my garage (different electrical circuit so powerline adapters didn't work).
The Netgear 3500 is dual band and it was working okay but when I spotted the Home Hub 4 (released by BT with some stealth) and that it was a dual band router I ordered and installed that instead of the 3. Surely a dual band router with a dual band extender had to make sense?
Now here's the strange thing. If I connect the extender to the router on 2.4 and on 5 then the extender only pushes out a signal on 2.4. There is a very limited signal on 5 but sooooo slow that it registers as a fat zero on a speed test.
If I restrict the connection between the extender and the router to only 2.4 ghz then the extender pushes out 2.4 AND 5 and does so at a good speed.
So what's the problem? I just feel there's something wrong when I can't connect on both signals and have both signals pushed out from the extender. I feel I miight be missing something (like a better/faster signal!)
Any suggestions?
Max

Hi, Keith
Thanks for picking this up.
I guess that one definite option is for me to return my netgear extender (still within return period I think) and switch to the BT extender.
My reservation would be that I have had a terrible history with BT routers over the years and a very, very positive experience with Netgear. I'd have stayed with Netgear if my old router would allow BT Sport (which it did not).
My preference would be to switch to a Netgear router that WILL allow me to receive BT Sport.
Meanwhile...be great to hear from someone who has the BT extender up and running.

Lumia 820 - Dual Band Wi-Fi

Can anyone confirm whether the Lumia 820 supports dual band Wi-Fi? Can it connect to 5-GHz networks?

Definitely wrong. I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt my Lumia 820 is connected to one of my 5ghz routers on 802.11n as I am typing this. If you are not able to then you have an issue with either phone or router.
