QUOTE(ckh83 @ Jan 3 2019, 10:00 AM)
Hi, i just bought tp link c2300. Need advice on below:

1. Smart Connect
- i turn on smart connect but 2 of my phone samsung s7 and note 5 auto connect @ 2.4ghz instead of 5g most of the time. Ipad is auto connect @ 5ghz.
Any idea why it does not connect @ 5ghz, all in same room with 1 wall.

2. I place the router in middle 1st floor, i notice that coverage in ground floor signal for 5ghz is not good, < 50mb. Is it normal 5ghz not good to cover 2 storey for different floor? (2.4ghz coverage is good even in ground floor.

Thanks

1. Can't answer for this one

2. The thing about 5GHz is that it provides faster connection at a shorter distance than 2.4GHz. It is also won't perform well if it has to go through concrete wall(s).
