My current router (Linksys EA3500) is set up for dual bands, both with different SSIDs named 2.4 and 5 respectively. For the most part, I'm always connected to the 5ghz on my Note 5. However, when I go out to the garage the signal is very weak and I end up manually disconnecting from 5ghz and connecting to 2.4.
Is there a way I can make the 5ghz a priority on my phone, then when the service isn't so great it will connect to 2.4? I think the simple answer would be to have the same SSID's on both bands and let the device choose. Will most devices always choose the stronger signal?
I was also wondering if this would be an application for IFTTT or Tasker. Not sure if I could write something up that said once 5ghz gets below a certain strength switch to 2.4. Then once 5ghz get's stronger switch back.
