• 5 GHz: Offers faster speeds and less interference, ideal for bandwidth-intensive activities like 4K streaming and online gaming, but with a shorter range.

You can configure separate SSIDs for each band or use Smart Connect to combine them into a single SSID, allowing the router to automatically assign devices to the optimal band.

3. Modo de punto de acceso

To use the MR50G as an Access Point (AP) to extend an existing wired network:

1. Conectar: Connect an Ethernet cable from your existing router's LAN port to one of the MR50G's LAN ports (not the WAN port).
2. Configurar: Log into the MR50G's web interface, navigate to the Operation Mode settings, and select "Access Point Mode". Follow the prompts to complete the setup.
