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?

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

Customer Replay

correct

*****, 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

The other day yes

Can you please reboot it now and check if the Internet works?

Customer Replay

Last tech was able to look through the router and make the needed changes. OK I will reboot.

Please, update me of the results

Customer Replay

Rebooted. Standby and I'll chk to c if the older devices can connect.

Thank you

Customer Replay

OK! The reboot seems to have all devices on line. Spd on 2,4 is 40M. 5 is 183m. the other day 5 was running at 260m. Go figure.

It may have to do with your connection host
