I suggest you set 2.4 and 5 as different ssid.
Connect your devices 2.4 and 5 to respective ssid.

Hello Apparatus
For now, you may find Portal at Courts, Harvey Norman, Sprint-Cass, Lazada and fellow retailers in Sim Lim Square (To name a few: Fuwell, Cybermind, PC Themes, DynaCore), whichever is to your convenience!
In time to come (Very soon), we will be branching out Portal's availability island-wide
If i am using this just as an ap. how is the wifi signal performance as compared to asus or ubiq and will it be an overkill and any functionality that will be dropped?
Thanx
Would you happen to know which Courts/Harvey Norman stores, please?
Ha..ha..just got one set from Courts@Causeway Point
Have to get one lah. Ask Michael Tan so many questions don't kau kwan pai seh leh
Teo boh, Michael Tan?
Hi Michael Tan
I just started up the Portal and connected my Microsoft Surface Pro 4 to it. Two(2) problems
1) Portal assigns different SSIDs for the 2.4 and 5 GHz. I would like to change the SSIDs. How to do that?
2) MS SP4 runs on WiFi ac and I'm only standing at about 1m away from the router. It auto selects the 2.4GHz. I thought it should select the 5GHz at such a near distance for WiFi ac, no? Is it possible to assign the device to either 2.4 or 5GHz? Or Portal auto-assigns them?
3) Same for my Samsung Note 4. Only connects to 2.4GHz at 1m away from router. How to make it connect to 5GHz?
Thanks

Firmware updated?
It would bandsteer to 5 immediately.
Anyway for avoidance of doubt just assign 2.4 different ssid and don't bother connecting to 2.4, just connect to the 5 ssid. Keep things simple and fast for the computers.
I checked the firmware initially and it said the latest at v1.0. Now it said I have the latest version. No version number displayed.
I just realized something. I managed to change the SSIDs for the main WiFi but the SSID for the 5GHz is not being broadcast onto my MS SP3/SP4 tablest. They can only see the 2.4GHz SSID. The 5GHz SSID can be seen by my Samsung smartphone whereby I can select it.
FYI, my WiFi adapter cards can have selection of Auto, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I selected 5GHz but there's no connection since the 5GHz SSID is not being broadcast onto the tablets

What channels of 5ghz are you using? I recall due to region limitations. Not all devices can see the entire 5ghz spectrum. You try changing 5ghz to lower channels you see can detect BOH.

Try dfs compatibility modes. Start with the most conservative. Please realise, all Asus wireless stick can't do dfs (disabled)
It is auto steering and not selectable. That is probably the bad points of this type of router (too simple GUI). Oops, seems like the selection is available only in router mode and not bridge mode.
