Hi all -
New to the forum and have a couple of questions if someone has some time to help.
I just purchased a new wireless router (Belkin N600) and it has dual bands 2.4 & 5.
It has the option to name each band's SSID differently. I currently have them set to the same name.
Here are my questions:
1. If the components in my house are set to pick up and log into the SSID by default, will they automatically connect to whichever on is faster or less busy, or will they just log into one?
2. Should I be naming the SSID's differently and specifying which components connect to each one?
Does it make a difference?
For reference, here's what's accessing the router:
2 TiVo's
1 Logitech Revue
1 PS3
2 laptops
Thoughts? Am I overthinking this? If everything is working fine now, should I just leave it, or can I improve performance somehow?
Thanks.
