A device on my network showing 5- 1

[Avinitlarge]

I’ve got an unknown device on my network, it’s showing as 5- 1, I’ve never seen this before and have no idea what it could mean.
I’m the only person that has the password for 5ghz, everyone else uses 2.4ghz.

Are you using AiMesh ?
TV streaming device ?
New appliance or IOT device ?
New phone ?
If you have an IOS device, download the Airport Utility from apple, in settings, allow wifi scan and see if you can id it. You can also use Fing for IOS or Android to do the same thing.

Are you using a router with two 5G networks, 5_1 and 5_2?

I found out what is was, my work phone. I can’t believe I didn’t check that
I have an Aimesh setup and no other networks so I’m still not sure why it’s showing as 5-1

What router? What firmware? Do you have Guest Network enabled?

5-1 = low band 5Ghz
5-2 = high band 5Ghz

ASUS 5G-1 vs 5G-2 How to configure

Hey all, I am having the Asus AX16000 Router and I do have a lot of bands. My questions are: 1. Why do I need 5G-1 and 5G-2? 2. Would it make a difference to switch one band off in terms of overall performance on the other bands? 3. If the suggestion is to use both 5G bands how to differentiate...
