Can you name the two bands with different SSIDs? i.e. give the 5gz band it's own SSID, or turn off the 2.4gz band?

Yes. you can change the SSIDs name, you can change passwords and you can turn the 2.4gz and 5gz on or off, I did on mine. The only issue that you will find is that if you have a Wi-Fi printer it may not connect to the 5gz and will connect only to the 2.4gz.

I don't think you need to assign separate SSIDs. Never did with all the dual banders I had. Never encountered any problem. My wifi is fast and I can even access it 10 houses away.

Yes! This system operates within the 2.4GHz band - and, from my own personal experience, it uses nearly ALL of the 2.4GHz band. It completely walked all over my router and wireless connections.

this depends on how you have it set up you can go to config on your adapter and choose ho to connect i have an ac router so i connect to the 5ghz network if your router has dual ssid one for 2.4 and one for 5 ghz connect to the 5 i recommend leaving set to auto which works great for me in case you happen to go somewher where only 2.4 is avialabe. hope this answers your question.

Per their FAQ there are 4 SSIDs supported on one access point. You can have more in the system, but would have to spread them out over multiple access points.http://wiki.ubnt.com/UniFi_FAQ#How_Many_SSIDs_.2F_VLANs_are_supported

You can set a regular and guest SSID individually for each AP you manage and for each radio. If you go into the AP configuration, you can override the SSID for each radio for normal and Guest.

I didn't know there was a difference until I received this request. I hear it's mostly concerning "dual band" capabilities. Just another receiver for a different room so far.

I just bought this model yesterday (1/28) @ Bestbuy and the AC Wireless works well and does support both 2.4 / 5 ghz bands. I was connected at 240 mbps with only 3/5 bars signal strength and had no issues at all (unsure of what the difs are between the bestbuy version and the amazon product featured here)

Hint hint: That is Generation 1 stuff; look at Gen 3 stuff like LTE by Netgear Pro that lets you lock in LTE band that has way better signal reach. My 2 cents :)

It is a dual band router one is a 2.4ghz antenna the other is a 5ghz antenna plus on the 2.4 you have a guest account you can turn the guest account off if you are not going to use it

Devices that support dual band will be able to use the 5Ghz range. Not all do, so you have to make a decision based on what type of devices you'll be using with it.

Yes. I run two APs on my network, with wired connections. Each is configured for the same SSID with WPA-PSK encryption. Hand off between the two APs is transparent to Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android client devices. I don't run RADIUS on my network, but I don't see why it would be a problem.

I use this on a laptop with a dual band Asus router. I have the same result as you, I see the 2.4GHz but not the 5GHZ. Seems rediculous that Asus reciever can not see Asus dual band router. On other hand it locks on to the 2.4GHz signal very well and so I am happy enough. Guess if can not detect 5Ghz from Asus router than this is not such a great product.

With Smart Connect turned on you will see 2 SSIDs, one for the 2.4 and one for the 5GHz. (The router then uses Smart Connect to connect each device to the best 5GHz channel, depending on the device and the current number of devices on each of the channels.)

Well if you are talking about your old router just replace it, or have the 2 of them hook together, but then you will have 2 different wifi signals and I see no point in doing so hope this answers your question

Funny you should ask. Although the packaging for the unit does mention support for both 2.4 and 5GHz networks, the player is unable to find my 5GHz network, but is able to discover the 2.4GHz network easily. I'm thinking there's a misprint on the packaging itself.

One of two things, either you will have a stronger signal reception or they are for individual bands like a/b/g/n and the new one think it was ac or something with 2 letters i know some routers broadcast over multiple bands at the same time so it should use whichever is strongest and readily available
