Other
• Country Select your country.
• Band Steering Band steering directs your devices to the
5 GHz band for higher performance. If the Router’s signal
weakens, it redirects to the 2.4 GHz band (which has
more range). Enabled by default, you can disable it and
manually select 2.4 or 5 GHz.
• Router Steering Router steering directs devices to
connect to the Router instead of Mesh Points when
possible (even if the Router signal is weaker). Disabled
by default, this feature may provide faster speeds when
enabled in some instances.
• Separate Wi-Fi SSID Disabled by default. Select this
option to create separate wireless networks for the
2.4GHz and 5 GHz radio bands.
This may be helpful if you want more control over which
radio band a client device uses. For example, if your device
can use the 5 GHz radio band and it is within range, then
the best option is to connect to the 5 GHz network.
Tap to save your changes.
• Advanced Select this option to customize the wireless
settings for the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz radio bands.

DHCP Server
The DHCP Server screen allows you to access the DHCP
settings, which determine how IP addresses are assigned
in your network. By default, the Router acts as a local DHCP
server to assign IP addresses to DHCP clients (devices such
as computers and smartphones) on the network. If you
modify any of these fields, tap to save your changes.
