Cannot get a 5.0 network to work!
I have successfully partitioned my network (2.4 works great!) but I cannot get the 5.0 partition to work. I have deleted and recreated the network multiple times, checked all settings, passwords etc....
As long as you are exceeding 10 Mbps you should be fine. I don't know why they say "5 GHz is the preferred band for most households." With my previous 802.11ac router with separate 2.4GHz and 5 GHz bands, my streaming devices (Fire TV and Roku) always preferred 2.4 GHz.

Minimum Internet Streaming Requirements for Amazon Luna
To successfully play games on Luna, make sure that your internet connection meets the minimum streaming requirements.
- An internet connection with sustained speed of at least 10 Mbps for 1080p video quality.
- We recommend using a wired network. If you're using a wireless router with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, try connecting using the 5 GHz band first. 5 GHz wireless band is the preferred band for most households.
- Disable VPN and Proxies while streaming.
- For Fire TV, make sure that Game Mode is enabled on your TV. This setting is usually found by going to Settings or Setup on your TV.
