[QUOTE="cozzykim, post: 32981, member: 6499"] Thanks. I think that the RC connects to the AC via 5GHz, ISTR that last time I looked it was CH149 (could be mistaken). Certainly, when the AC tries connect to an Android phone directly it can switch to a 5GHz channel that is outside the range of channels used for EU Android devices, and thus it never appears on the phone's SSID list until you reset it to 2.4GHz by pressing and waiting for the '3 beeps'. I'll check but I'm pretty sure that the RC tries to default to 5GHz when I connect the AC to the RC. I don't think that it should make much difference at that short range normally, although I'm thinking that maybe misty/foggy conditions can have greater or lesser influence on Tx/Rx range depending on frequency. 5GHz will probably be attenuated more than 2.4GHz in those conditions. EDIT: Yes, the 5GHz band is more or less empty here too my own router is the only one locally broadcasting a dual SSID on 2.4 and 5GHz and that only because I achieve higher throughput with 5GHz on my fibre BB.
