- Network names: Do not set the 2.4 GHz Network and the 5 GHz Network to the same name. Note: Unfortunately many routers come with both networks set to the same name. You need to be able to control which network that is in use so changing the name of one of the networks is recommended. Since many IoT devices use the 2.4 GHz network, it may be better to change the name of the 5 GHz network. - Network names: Do not set the 2.4 GHz Network and the 5 GHz Network to the same name.

- Channels for 5 GHz: Not all devices are capable of using DFS channels (I'm looking at you Roku.) It may be necessary to set a fixed channel in the range of 36 to 48 or 149 to 161 in order for all of your devices to work on 5 GHz.

- Extention cables can be problematic. A way to check if the extension cable is the problem is to plug the adapter temporarily into a USB port on the computer.
- Some USB WiFi adapters require considerable electrical current and push the capabilities of the power available via USB port. One example is adapters that use the Realtek 8814au chipset. Using a powered multiport USB extension can be a good idea in cases like this. - Some USB WiFi adapters require considerable electrical current and push the capabilities of the power available via USB port.

Answer: You can't without considerable technical skills. Realtek drivers do not support more than one adapter with the same chipset in the same computer. However, testing has shown that the Mediatek drivers do support more than one adapter with the same chipset in various configurations. Answer: You can't without considerable technical skills. Realtek drivers do not support more than one adapter with the same chipset in the same computer. You have multiple Realtek based adapters in the same computer as long as the adapters are based on different chipsets.
