Model: RE200  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: not seen

New RE200 installed and working.   On some devices 5GHz network setting is displayed as BTHub5-xxxx_5GHz_EXT, which is fine.   On another device it is shown as BTHub5-xxxx_5GHz_2.4GEXT.    How do I know whether device is running on 5GHz, or 2.4GHz ?   How do I ensure it is on 5GHz ?   Thanks.

Good day.

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Since the RE200 is dual band extender(2.4ghz +5ghz), so normally there would be two SSID for RE200(unless you set up via WPS.)

So I guess BTHub5-xxxx_5GHz_EXT is the 5ghz band of RE200, and BTHub5-xxxx_5GHz_2.4GEXT is the 2.4ghz band.

You could check the wireless link sped on the device; https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2265/

If it is around 300m/s, the device is on the 2.4ghz;

If it is around 433m/s (or over 300m/s), the device is on 5ghz of RE200;

Thank you very much.
