Do I really need the Nighthawk app?
Can I install and manage my NETGEAR router without using the Nighthawk app? Yes. To install and manage your NETGEAR router, launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your router’s network and visit www.routerlogin.com.
Should I combine 5GHz and 2.4 GHz?
No. What you want to do, is get as many devices setup using 5Ghz, and use the 2.4Ghz as a fall-back. The reason is that because 2.4Ghz bands overlap, 2.4Ghz is usually very overcrowded with neighbour networks. 5Ghz allows a faster speed too depending on the specifications.
Should 2.4 and 5GHz same SSID?
If you are working with just a lone Wi-Fi router, then using the same SSID on both bands can help devices stay connected, especially in areas where 5 GHz can’t reach but 2.4 GHz can. In my case, I have multiple APs deployed throughout my residence, so 5 GHz coverage is not a problem.
