Hi, I have two networks running on the same modem. Ane is two.4ghz (which is enabled for range). The other is 5ghz which I desire to utilise on ethernet. My issue is that my ethernet is automatically connecting to the 2.4ghz network while I am able to connect a network adapter to the 5ghz network ethernet on 2.iv is even so faster. Is there any way I tin can connect my ethernet to the 5ghz network?

Dont know why its the same name, but its not wireless if its Ethernet

And then y'all cant connect to two.4 or 5 ghz

When I am on wireless I tin cull which I want to connect to it appears as two dissimilar networks. When I am on ethernet (which I want to exist on for my desktop) it appears equally 2.4ghz and there is no option to become to 5ghz. I don't actually intendance what network appears when I am connected to ethernet (visual aspect doesn't matter) all I desire to do is find the optimal settings to get the best speeds possible and I know that 5ghz made a pretty significant difference wirelessly based on a speedtest that I took. I am not sure if the divergence of 5ghz and ii.4ghz even exists on ethernet.

Thank You :).

Take whatever you are thinking about this now and forget information technology.

The frequencies you are talking almost are only for wireless, if you are continued with an ethernet cable you are not using either of those bands since you are continued with a cablevision. The ii have zilch to practice with each other. Basically are asking something similar "If I vesture my Nike sneakers in the rain, will my cowboy boots also get wet?". The two things are not connected.

You need a wireless adapter not ethernet. The two.4 and 5 ghz is for wireless not ethernet

You log into the modem find the two.iv / v ghz option enable it, put information technology on WPA or WPA2, requite it a password

Then find the modem's SSID on the PC connect to it with the password

Altho it depends if the modem tin support both at the same time. Or i or the other

Ethernet is a directly connection you employ a cable

My modem supports both 2.4 and v at the same fourth dimension. I know ethernet is a direct connexion. I named both my 5ghz and two.4ghz networks differently. And they both appear on my phone and both piece of work. I am just dislocated because my ethernet connection is still named after my 2.4ghz network. Also simply to clarify I am not saying I am using ethernet on my phone haha, I am wireless on my telephone and they both appear.

I am not certain if the difference of 5ghz and ii.4ghz even exists on ethernet.

Like I said two.iv and 5 ghz ISNT for ethernet. And then fifty-fifty it its says youre on 2.four for ethernet you WONT go v ghz

I don't think OP quite understands wireless vs. ethernet.

An ethernet connection is wired.

The ii.4GHz and 5GHz bands are only different wireless bands on the SAME network every bit any ethernet connections. They are basically like a road with 2 different lanes. You tin can pick the lane you travel on but they are still a office of the same road (network).

When yous add your wireless network with your client, yous will be asked which one to connect to. If your customer doesn't accept a 5GHz wireless adapter then information technology won't even meet the 5GHz band. Information technology'southward generally a good idea to connect to the 5GHz ring if the bespeak is adequately strong since it will suffer from less interference and tin can behave a little more data.

1 Network with iii unlike ways to travel beyond information technology:
#1 - Wired Ethernet
#2 - 5GHz wireless
#3 - 2.4GHz wireless

When you lot add your wireless network with your client, you lot will be asked which i to connect to. If your client doesn't have a 5GHz wireless adapter then it won't even see the 5GHz band. It'south generally a skilful thought to connect to the 5GHz band if the betoken is fairly potent since it will endure from less interference and tin carry a petty more data.

1 Network with 3 different means to travel beyond it:
#ane - Wired Ethernet
#two - 5GHz wireless
#3 - 2.4GHz wireless

I have a question concerning Wireless. I just got a Dual Band Router (2.4GHz & 5GHz, I know, that's redundant). I connected my Cell Phone and all other mobile devices to the 5GHz ring.

1. Should I also connect Them to the two.iv side as well? I'one thousand thinking that when I get out of the 5GHz range, it will automatically transfer over to the 2.iv side when needed? (I oasis't tested information technology so sorry for the dumb question). And the opposite if I offset in the ii.4 range, and get closer to the 5 range, will it transfer over or stay on the 2.4 side?

or

2. Will they choose what's best for the device automatically?

3. Just merely have ane choice?

Thanks in advance!

Y'all can non actually connect a end device to both 5g and 2.4g at the same time. Well-nigh dual band routers have 2 radios in them the nic just has one and it must be set up for ii.4g or 5g.

Still the nics are really stupid. Pretty much they will connect to the strongest signal and stay connected even if there is a better indicate available they will not even attempt to look for another signal until the showtime one pretty much completely drops.

You lot are much better off using two different ssid on the 2.4g and 5g bands so You tin control what information technology is continued to and when since y'all can't practice a worse job than the nic software.

......the nic software is designed to forestall the device from jumping back and forth all the fourth dimension which is actually worse than staying connected to a poor signal.

See moving picture here! Same issue!

If you've got a dual band adapter, and y'all connect an Ethernet cable, it'll use the name of the SSID you've given the wireless.

It'll besides take over from the wireless.

How-do-you-do, I'k almost on the aforementioned case. When I got my new dual ring modem router my iptv box connected via ethernet begin to tedious like its buffering every 5 mins. But if I connect it to my old modem (2.4ghz) it works fine. I dont know if theres whatsoever configuration that need to be ready. Im guessing that information technology could be something to practise with the lan port information rate which is a bit faster in dual ring modem and my iptv box is not compatible on that?

I am also experiencing a similar event. My modem/router has 2 ethernet ports. 1 port works fine when used with my smart Telly or computer (unplugging and switching between the 2 devices), the other port continuously experiences wearisome or halting speeds with both devices. Using the problem port to plug into my estimator, the network name matches the characterization on my 5ghz wireless network. I know in that location is a difference between wireless and ethernet connections, and I sympathize when you explain these 2.4/5ghz networks only utilize to my wireless network, just my all-in-one router/modem missed the memo.
I'm open to whatsoever suggestions. I've reset the router/modem, tried other cables, different devices. I do not encounter any configuration options inside the router UI to alter the behavior of these ethernet ports. (netgear)
