If you go to your adapter connection status what is the link speed you are getting?

You can try to set a preference to 5GHz networks in the properties of your adapter

As far as the Deco unit you can set the connected computer as a high priority device by going into your devices list.

The Deco will place the unit on a wireless band depending on how much demand is needed, should the computer need additional speed it will be moved to hte 5GHz so you will not stay on the 2.4GHz as more speed is needed.

Hi Tony,

It doesn't seem I have the same set of options. I have the latest driver version for the T8E 6.30.223.228. I'm also getting 400mbps (wireless N) speeds.

Go into your router settings in your Deco app and enable the guest network, with the guest network enabled you can disable the 2.4Ghz so only 5GHz is active. You wont be able to communicate with other devices on the Deco network with it being a guest network, but you should get the 5GHz you want to be connected to.

@Tony Do you know how to set a preferred band, similar to the screenshots above, on Mac OS? Also, is there a way to upvote the feature request to add to M9 the ability to force a specific band per device? That would solve this problem for everyone.

(The guest network workaround is a last resort for me because I really need access to my network assets from the computer that keeps switching over to 2.4ghz.)

Thanks for your help!

From what I have found the general consensus is to separate the wireless networks. Since you are not able to on a Deco you may need to utilize the guest network in have the guest network host the 2.4G or 5G.

@Tony But is there a way to 1) submit a feature request, and 2) vote for feature requests posted by others?

Anytime a user posts a feature request we forward that. Please note that does not mean it is guaranteed to be implemented as they are all submitted for consideration.
