Following a recent upgrade of ISP connection to optical cable, I am considering changing an 2,4 Ghz fast enthernet router to a dual band gigbit router as my Sony KDL-43W805C is allegedly capable of coummunicating on 5,0 Ghz with the router. As the distance between the TV set and the router is constant as opposed to other wi-fi devices such as mobile phones and tablets, I assume the wi-fi data speed on 5,0 Ghz can be improved.
Is there any experience that by changing to 5,0 Ghz data speed is improved? Do I need to set wi-fi band to fix 5,0 Ghz, or shall I leave it to automatic?
How to settle the issue of using the fix 5,0 Ghz for the TV set and 2,4 Ghz or 5,0 Ghz for other devices at the same time? I am not sure that all dual band gigbit routers have band steering capability. Do I need to set up a seperate SSID, a separate connection channel to the TV set?
