Thanks again. a lot of my devices really aren't taking up too much band with. ie Ecobee thermostats , apple watches, etc. BTW I thought the SBT runs only on 2.4ghz? If not, how do I point it to my 5ghz system? My Orbo mesh automatically attaches everything to 5ghz if capable. Yet I only see the SBT on my 2.4ghz ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gellie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111529
