Thank you
The Nighthawk X6 offers a 2.4GHz band and two 5GHz bands.
So basically it will be broadcasting on 2 frequencies at the same time

Will u pls take over this computer and check to c the router is configured correctly?

author

Do you mean if everything was set up in the correct way?

Customer Replay

correct

author

*****, in order to check your router settings we would need to know a lot of information from your Internet provider
Did you try to reboot the router?

Customer Replay
