The AP's don't assign and it's permanent. They will switch back and forth between bands based on the best signal and performance. If you want a device on a dedicated 5ghz band you'll need to setup a separate 5ghz only network with a different name. I've done this and connected several devices that are stationary and it works pretty well. Although, the R510's as a product simply suck. Their performance is drastically subpar to a standard router even with all the firmware updates. I'm only using them because they were free and in my ceiling. I'm on a gigabit network and never get download or upload speeds above 250 mbps over the air no matter where I am or what channel or network band I'm on.&nbsp;</P> Sun, 01 Nov 2020 16:03:31 GMT ryanhayes 2020-11-01T16:03:31Z https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Access-Points-Indoor-and-Outdoor/How-to-Choose-The-Speed-One-Connects-With/m-p/16217#M4227 <P style="margin: 0;">I've found out that the Ruckus 510 APs that were installed in the new house I bought show only one network when I look at available networks, but it has both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. However, it automatically assigns devices to one of the two without me being able to choose which one. I just bought a Fire TV Recast device, which allows me to view and record over the air TV. However, my Ruckus has automatically assigned it to the 2.4 GHz radio, while I feel a video device should be on the 5GHz one. Is there any way to force it on my preferred one?</P> Sun, 01 Nov 2020 15:58:11 GMT https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Access-Points-Indoor-and-Outdoor/How-to-Choose-The-Speed-One-Connects-With/m-p/16217#M4227 tony_nacelewicz 2020-11-01T15:58:11Z https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Access-Points-Indoor-and-Outdoor/How-to-Choose-The-Speed-One-Connects-With/m-p/16218#M4228 <P style="margin: 0;">Easy one here.

But client devices are the ones that choose what radio is the best.</P> <P style="margin: 0;">1. Use bandsteering</P> <P style="margin: 0;">2. Lower the power of the 2.4ghz radio. To make the 5ghz radio more attractive to the client device.</P> Sun, 01 Nov 2020 16:03:34 GMT https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Access-Points-Indoor-and-Outdoor/How-to-Choose-The-Speed-One-Connects-With/m-p/16219#M4229 rob_m_istij3wx4 2020-11-01T16:03:34Z https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Access-Points-Indoor-and-Outdoor/How-to-Choose-The-Speed-One-Connects-With/m-p/16220#M4230 <P style="margin: 0;">So how do I set up a separate 5ghz network on this equipment?
