Title: 2.5 and 5khz show up as one
Post by: saintiain on August 23, 2014, 01:41:55 pm

I was wondering if there was any way to have the two bands show up as one for your network.  so instead on "network 2.5" and "network 5" it just shows up as "network"

Sure, just call them the same thing.
Do note that some devices aren't going to be automatically switching between the two though, as Wi-Fi doesn't quite have this stuff figured out yet.

Interesting.  Ok so if I call both networks the same thing then it just shows up as one network.  How do I know which band different devices are connecting to though?

That's the thing, you don't. This is sadly how Wi-Fi works.

Use a tool like inSSIDer to sniff wireless networks around you, it will tell you which one you are currently connected to.
