Linksys E3000

Wireless Configuration (Manual)

Your Linksys E3000 can run two networks at the same time, one network using the 5 GHz radio frequency band and the other network using the 2..4 GHz radio frequency band.. This allows you to isolate higher-priority traffic, such as video and voice applications, on the 5 GHz network, which is less prone to interference..

The computers and devices running your video and voice applications can use the 5 GHz network, while your guest access and computers that are only browsing the web can use the 2..4 GHz network..
