Wireless Configuration (Manual)
Your Linksys E2500 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 .
