| 1483521 | 2022-01-18 23:45:00 | OK, guys, I just found out that in order to show both, need to turn OFF WiFi Band Steering. | bk T (215) | ||
| 1483522 | 2022-01-18 23:57:00 | Should I turn off band steering? As the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands share the same Network Name (SSID), it is recommended to disable Band Steering to reduce the confusion on the Wi-Fi client. Once Band Steering is disabled it is suggested to rename the Network Name (SSID) of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to unique name to differentiate them. |

| 1483524 | 2022-01-25 13:46:00 | After a lengthy online (via WhatsApp) 'negotiation' with Spark, they finally agreed to replace the modem with VRV9517UWAC34, as I am a loyal customer since those 'dial-up' days; but I need to pay for the postage and handling fee of $14.95, which I think is fair. Sometimes, there's nothing to lose to use some nice, soft words in a negotiation. :) Hope the new replacement modem will be at my door in the next couple of days. Yes, good words work wonders :) I had a chair replaced that way once... Which broke on the spot. I found the right words and it was replaced. Although they didn't want to. |

In theory with band steering on a device will connect to the most suitable band depending upon its location. Mine is on and it has never been a problem. The only thing I have ever noticed is that my phone will switch bands if I move to a different place in the house while actively connected to somewhere via the internet. |
