Filter data by radio band on each chart, individually. Click to show radio band filters on each chart. Then
select the 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio button to display data for that band.

Note
The datasets are sampled at different intervals. Therefore, it is possible that data from the 14-
day dataset will not include data from the 3-day dataset or from the 3-hour dataset. It is
possible that a new client will not appear in a dataset if the dataset has not been recently
updated.
