Wireless 5 Ghz Band
Hi,
I have been using the Time Capsule for some time, and I used to be able see (in the Airport Network List) and connect to both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz bands (not simultaneously).
Recently, I changed the channel for the 5 Ghz band and the 2.4 Ghz band manually, and now when I set it back to "Automatic" I can only see (and connect to) the 5 Ghz band. It seems as if the 2.4Ghz circuit just failed, because even on different Macbooks, I cannot see the 2.4Ghz channel at all!
Has anyone encountered such a problem before? Is there a solution?
Normally, I wouldn't be concerned because the 5 Ghz band is supposed to be faster and "less congested", however, the signal strength of the 2.4 Ghz band is better in my house (at some locations, I cannot see nor use the 5 Ghz signal, only the 2.4 Ghz signal).
THank you in advance.
