The 5Ghz network has the ability to transfer data at faster speeds. We
recommend that you use the 5GHz network if visible. Your 2.4GHz network
has slower speeds but greater range. If you are experiencing issues at the
edge of your house, or are using an older device that can only see this
network – this is the one to use.

Step 6: Connecting via ethernet
