I have a dual band Netgear router and the hopper connects to the low speed band.
Is there a way to make it connect to the high speed band?
Sure there is. Keep in mind that the 2.4 ghz band is slower but has greater range. Where as the 5 ghz band has faster speed but less range.
On a Netgear router go to a web browser & type in
Router login .
When prompted to log in unless you have changed these settings the default is:
User: admin
Password: password
Keep in mind this is different than your wireless log in.
Look for the wireless tab on left & click on it.
On your 2.4 ghz SSID change it to
"something 2G"
On your 5 ghz SSID change it to
"something 5G"
That way you can tell which band you are logging into.
You can use same password if you choose. Make sure you choose WPA 2 as your security.
Now go back to your Hopper's wireless setup & log into "something 5G".
If you need further help then let us know.
