Re: Cannot get a 5.0 network to work!
I actually moved the tmo router right next to the tv (the device that will not read the 5.0, along with others) and it still won't recognize the 5G partition. Also, since switching to tmo, I am getting buffering more often while streaming, along with pausing, freezing up and VERY slow speeds.8Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cannot get a 5.0 network to work!

Most of the time, devices don’t need you to split the networks because they are designed to connect to the combined network and use the one that best suits the device. If the device needs a separate network, it is to connect solely to 2.4 GHz because they don’t use 5 GHz. This is common with printers, garage door openers, and other specific devices like that. If the 5 GHz network is working for your other devices, then the only thing I can think of is that Fire TV compatibility. It does recognize both the 2.4 network and the network that is either/or. Firetv has a gaming channel (luna) and it is asking for a 5.0 mbps connection. I use the 2.4 on our cameras,photo frames, lights etc. Thank you for responding6Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cannot get a 5.0 network to work!

The signal probably isn't reaching far enough for that device to see it, if the device is capable of seeing and connecting to 5GHz. This might be the issue although the 2 devices are pretty close to one another. I will try moving them as close together as I can and see if it makes a difference.

No, still having the issue. I did try renaming the network but it still says 'not in range' and I have to enter the info, it doesn't find the network doing a scan. It might have helped if I had previously mentioned that the problem is primarily on my firetv but I was able to connect my iphone & kindle fire. I have updated firetv, restarted, entered network info manually, performed a new scan.. still no connection to the 5.0 network.8Views0likes0CommentsCannot get a 5.0 network to work!
I have successfully partitioned my network (2.4 works great!) but I cannot get the 5.0 partition to work. I have deleted and recreated the network multiple times, checked all settings, passwords etc. but no luck. The multi speed network works great but it might just be connecting to 2.4 and therefore not alerting me of any error. Anyone else seeing this? Any advice would be great from someone who’s 5,0 partition stuck.343Views0likes15Comments
