Model: Archer VR2800  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 0.3.0 0.9.1 v006c.0 build

I've set up the modem router following all the on screen prompts and used two different names for the two frequency bands. While I realise I can manually select a band for each device, if I set both names to be the same will it automatically select the best one to use for each device? I have read advice elsewhere that says you should name both frequencies the same but there's nothing in the TP-Link documentation about it. Is the VR2800 clever enough to auto-select? Or would it just be a random selection which could result in one frequency being overloaded?

 

Thanks,

Anne.

Hi Anne, this will depend on the devices themselves, and most clients will switch between the networks based on the signal strength.
