Cross band technology increases network speeds by allowing the range extender to receive data from wireless devices on one band and communicate with the router on the other band. Works only with dual band routers.

Auto

Let the range extender choose the best radio to use to transmit data between itself and your dual band router.

Manual

Select which radio to use to transmit data between the range extender and your dual band router.

Uplink: Non-cross Dual Band

If you don't need the cross band feature:
If a wireless device connects to the range extender's 5 GHz band, the range extender will use the 5 GHz band to communicate with the router.
If a wireless device connects to the range extender's 2.4 GHz band, the range extender will use the 2.4 GHz band to communicate with the router.

Uplink: Cross Dual Band

Force data transmitting by cross band:
If a wireless device connects to the range extender's 5 GHz band, the range extender will use the 2.4 GHz band to communicate with the router.
If a wireless device connects to the range extender's 2.4 GHz band, the range extender will use the 5 GHz band to communicate with the router.

Uplink: 2.4 GHz Only

Select to force the range extender to use only the 2.4 GHz band to communicate with the router. This will slow down communication for devices connecting to the range extender on the 2.4 GHz band.

Uplink: 5 GHz Only

Select to force the range extender to use only the 5 GHz band to communicate with the router. This will slow down communication for devices connecting to the range extender on the 5 GHz band.

Local Extended Network: Concurrent Dual Band

Select to allow wireless devices to connect with the range extender on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band.

Local Extended Network: 2.4 GHz Only

Select to allow wireless devices to connect to the range extender only on the 2.4 GHz band.

Local Extended Network: 5 GHz Only

Select to allow wireless devices to connect to the range extender only on the 5 GHz band.
