What is FastLane Technology and how do I enable it?

FastLane Technology enhances performance by dedicating one WiFi band to connect the extender to your router and another band to connect to your devices, preventing performance loss. To enable it, log in to your extender, select Do More > FastLane, select the FastLane Technology radio button, then choose whether to use 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz for router-to-extender connection. This feature only works if you have devices supporting both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
