    Default playbook on 5Ghz wifi

    ok this isnt a problem as such more of a niggle, ive got a dual band router that does 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz simultaneous and my playbook uses both very well auto changing to strongest sginal.

    but ive just noticed that if the playbook is connected on the 5Ghz band then App World will not download any apps paid or free

    Soon as i switch to 2.4Ghz app works fine.

    I am sure this will change as time goes by. The PB is ready for the future whatever that will bring.

    Mine is the opposite! Both used to work but now it only downloads or purchases apps at 5GHz. Bizarre!

    Someone only single band mentioned deleting wifi entries to make them work again but I haven't tried his yet.

    Not sure but if both profiles are saved and since both are active wouldn't the pb be trying to connect to both?

    I have different names for each and it switches back and forth as needed. Both work well using App World.
    I hope this helps.

    hmmm I'm not sure, but like I said the playbook does a top job of flicking to the best signal.
