Hi all, here's my problem. A tech came out and got me to find, the five gig netowrk. My phone seems to say on it no problem. My mac however, seems to default back to the 2.4 ghz one. Does anyone know how i can get it connected and stay that way? As of this post, it's on 2.4 when just after showing the phone once, it stays on fifve gigs. I'd appreciate any help as this is kind of weird. Thanks.

How do you drag from one part of the table to another? :) I forgot that. I originally saw my 2.4 but then I unchecked automatically connect to this network and Think, key word, things are ok. Thanks for the help.

While I use two networks, I too have had this exact problem you speak of. My Phone, Apple tv, and two IPod touch units stay on the 5 GHZ network, and the Mack kept defaulting back to the 2.4 GHZ network. Honestly? Just leave the Mack on that network. It's not going to hurt anything and you'll still be able to cruise the internet just fine.

I'm not paying for 300 and getting 25 maybe 50 If you are cool with that, go for it. Me? I got it fixed. Ilene thanks. ;) so far I have just this five gig one as the default. I'll worry about the other one if I need too. Ah being a woman who knows what she's doing, nice right? ;) :)
