Keep the n band for the TiVo and the other for the laptop. Glad you like the router. Mine has been rock solid for months now.
Probably the best router I have owned. Let me know how the signal strength is near the TiVo. On my Google phone I downloaded an app called wifi analyzer. And it let me find the least crowded channel for my wifi. Worked like a charm. I suggest doing the same via your laptop. I forgot the name of the software but it does the same thing.

Haven't had time to test it, though, but that's a feel good moment. Turns out the problems was the damn laptop. It has a Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini card in it. Googling revealed all kind of problems with this card....but I finally got around to looking for a Windows 7 64-bit driver. That got me to someone claiming that the updated driver for this device has the problems. So the solution was the delete it (and the files too) and let Win7 reinstall its stock driver. Well, lo and behold, the laptop now sees both the 2.4 and 5 G band networks, as well as their SSIDs. Simple matter after that to get up and going. Not sure I'm going to let the laptop live there, though. I don't really need it for faster downloads. I'd like to give all of that bandwidth to my Tivo downstairs, if possible. On the other hand...I don't use the laptop that much here so sharing probably wouldn't be much of a problem. But now I can use the laptop to see what kind of 5GHz signal I get downstairs near the Tivo. I swore a long time ago to NEVER buy another dell anything. What I didn't swear was to let someone else buy me a dell something. Well, no more dell for me. Period. Same with Apple. Did y'all hear that Verzion and Google claim to be working on an Android Tablet? I hope they keep on track with that as competition is a good thing.
