But, even then, connecting to 5 GHz does not automatically insure that the signal will really be "faster", since 5 GHz signals are significantly weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.and there is little to no advantage in having a fast, weak connection compared to a stronger, slower connection. This works guaranteed and gives you 2.4 and 5GHz N throughput. Airport Exteme is on Bridge mode and I have tried with and without DMZ giving the Airport Exteme the external IP address. iNID -> Netgear Hub -> i38HG, STBs, Airport Extreme all connected to the hub. I have already set the Telus Actiontech 3200 into Bridge mode so Im not sure what else I can do. Apple Airport Extreme I am pretty well versed with phycial networking and have this setup all over ethernet that was freshly run. Then use a refurbished 75 Airport Express to achieve the 'extension' of your WIFI network. my Airport Extreme router, my speeds are around 5Mbps. The only way that you can insure that a device will connect to the "faster" 5 GHz signal is assign a different name to that network and then "point" the wireless device at that specific network. You could always put your ISP router in bridge mode and use the Airport Extreme as your router and WIFI. Does not work-says it was in Double NAT and needed to go into bridge mode-tried but then there was no internet.

All of the routing functionality, the stuff that takes more processing power, is being handled by the modem-router.

If your AirPort Extreme is in bridge mode it's essentially serving as a wireless extender for your modem-router, and that's it. But, there are downsides to this as well, since "best" usually means the "strongest" signal, which will not necessarily be the "fastest" signal. Bridge mode basically means that the device is passing along signals and not much else. If you are using bridge mode, you’ll need to configure the DNS servers on your router.
It's simpler for most users to use the same name for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals, and allow wireless devices to connect to the signal that they deem "best". Note that this feature will not work if your AirPort Extreme is in bridge mode. It's not really possible to say whether this would be "normal".since some gateways will allow you to use the same name for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, and some will not. To avoid interference, you will also want the Airport far away from the Orbi router and satellite, and you want the Airport and Orbi on different wifi channels (both 2.4 and 5 GHz.) In any case, what you are trying to achieve (wireless coverage. The Airport in bridge mode currently b/c it complained about double-NAT. My gateway wouldn't allow me to name the 2.4 and 5GHz networks the same, so I was unable to consolidate all the connections to one. Check to make sure the Broadband port of the Airport is plugged into the LAN port on the Orbi router. I have the radio configured as a router, using DHCP and NAT.
