The third band is a separate 5GHz band for backhaul. It is what the "mesh" runs on between nodes and is not configurable. Its there, just facilitating your network connection between nodes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi! The MR8300 is a mesh router that has a dedicated 5 GHz band for wireless backhaul. This will be useful if you have installed multiple nodes in your network as they communicate through the 2nd 5 GHz band. In effect, this frees up the remaining two bands to focus exclusively on your streaming media players, game consoles, and other connected devices without slowdown or degradation.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 5G band uses two different channel ranges verse the single range for original 5G. That how they comes with tri-band verse dual band
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi MomAtHome, What device are you using to 'look' at the tri-band? If your device is 3x3 MU-MIMO (3 antennas), you will see all three bands. If your device has only two antennas (2x2) MU-MIMO it will only see two bands. The second 5 GHz radio frequency is mostly used to communicate with other nodes (Wi-Fi Extenders). However,this Linksys AC2200 Router will choose the best radio band for your device(s) for the best Wi-Fi performance of your entire network regardless of your devices number of antennas. There are three different radio frequencies. Hope this helps you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It has two 5 GHz bands, so you will only see the distinction with the 2.4 GHz.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are 2-5ghz bands.
