Hi, In my experience, if you have two SSID's that are identicle most devices will just see one roam between the two if they are non stationary; I have a couple of access points here all of which use the same SSID and between them I get more than acceptable coverage throughout the house in the

Ben, thanks for your feedback. I agree it's an interesting topic but confusing. It would be interesting to know what Apple recommends for best performance when configuring their latest Airport express or extreme routers to work with any of their dual band iDevices. Time to do some more

Hello Rick, I'm sure somebody will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you can connect your iPhone to both the 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands your router broadcasts at the same time. Your router most likely broadcasts 2 SSID's (one for 2.4 and 1 for 5 Ghz) and my recommendation is to connect to the

Hi Sieghard. The router actually has default SSID's out of the box but of course we change those. It does not stop you however from using the same SSID for both bands. What is confusing about this is the fact that the term simultaneous dual band is used for both the routers and the iDevices and
