Basic networking questio 2 gzh and 5ghz band
Hi,
This might be a very basic question on 2ghx and 5ghz bands.
so i am with virgin, I had there 100mb service and the router was set up im modem mode and 3 deco m5's which work perfectly.
i had my broadband speed upgraded to 300 mb service and a new router was supplied. I put that into modem mode. The deco connected and everything is working fine and do the speed test and I am getting the 300mb speed shown in the deco speed test.
However when i run the speed test on my laptop the max speed I got was 100mb. and the same on my phone etc.
So this was driving me mad. I then went to the wifi settings on my laptop and changed the setting from 2ghz to 5ghz and i got my 300mb speed.
So my question is, should my devices automaticaly switch to the highest speed or do i have to look all my devices to see if they 2ghz or 5 ghz devices and then switch them all manually?
