Does killer software have option to set preferred band or usefull at all?

I used to have a Intel 6300 on my dv6z but since the driver give random BSOD where there is no trace that I can find to resolve. So I got a reference AR938x (2x2), but the stock atheros driver(from a cz site) do not have option for "preferred band" which the intel has. I even manage to force the Killer-1102 driver on the reference card, it give more option and none of them seem to do what I need.

The software, on the other hand, will take some tweak to installed(not succeed yet~~), any one know if the software can force 5ghz for certain SSID(profile)?
If it doesn't do much, then probably not going to play with it..

 

I don't see a point of this setting to be honest.
Notebook should always connect to a device with stronger signal or to a preferred SSID.

You should also use different SSIDs for 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band to avoid switching between them without consent.
So basically you rank networks in Windows (the one on top has the highest priority) and since SSIDs should be different you would have two on the list and you could rank them either way.

That's unless there's some specific reason that I don't see.

 

My school used dual band with same SSID, and 2.4Ghz get real funny when I am in the library/class.

 

afaik, there is no way to really force a band, even the Intel option will prioritize 2.4GHz based on signal strength at some point.
