We had Infinity connected with a new home hub connected yesterday. All is fine and speeds seem ok.

When checking settings I went into a screen which showed everything connected to the hub. I can't remember how to get back to this screen now! Doh!

Anyway when I was in there I noticed it said 2 iPhones and a laptop were listed under 5ghz but the other laptop was listed separately under 2.5ghz. I was wondering why that was and is it likely to affect connection?

The BT HH 4 is dual band. By having the devices on different frequencies, they won't have to share WiFi bandwidth with each other - which is a "good thing".

5GHZ is faster but range limited, and believe me i doesnt go far
2.5 is slower, but better range

eg. In my 3 bed Semi 5ghz wont penetrate upstairs, so my ipad switches to 2,5ghz
