New Around Here
Newbie here, self-educated but no IT background: For my GIG Fiber home, I just replaced Century Link's freebie 3000 router with ZenWifi AX6600 XT8 (2 units connected by ethernet). I setup SmartConnect with a single SSID for both the 2.4 and 5-1 bands.
1. I was thinking it would be desirable to have only my ethernet as a wired backhaul, so I did create and unhide a 5 GHz-2 band. So far I've not connected any clients. But the more I read, I'm concerned that all this did is limit channels available to clients on 5 GHz-1? (saw info on dongknows.com / asus-aimesh-overview /) Maybe, not a good idea?
Can anyone help me by simply explaining, the pros and cons of creating a separate 5 GHz-2 band. (I am not a gamer, but am managing 50 clients including Alexa, Sonos, Phillips Hue, Lutron, etc.)
2. my 2 Ring Pro's connections are the only problematic devices so far; they are decidely not stable, connected by 5.1. Some reading says put them on a Guest Network?
Thanks for any help, insight!
