30 Chapter 14: FAQ
Why can't I boost a device's signal with beamforming?
Only six devices can concurrently receive beamforming.
Make sure your device supports beamforming too. This means the device must conform to the 802.11ac
standards.
RT2600ac performs beamforming for all its Wi-Fi connections by default, and does not provide relevant option
on the management interface.
Which Wi-Fi frequency (2.4GHz and 5GHz) should I choose?
Please see "Set up Your Wi-Fi Connection".
Why can't I nd the router's 5GHz Wi-Fi network?
Due to previous NCC (National Communications Commission) regulations, in Taiwan wireless devices
manufactured before 2009 cannot make use of the 5GHz Wi-Fi channels 36-48. To help such wireless devices
connect to the 5GHz Wi-Fi network, you should use alternative channels rather than channels 36-48 (at Wi-Fi
Connect > Wireless > Wi-Fi > 5GHz > Advanced options).
