Dual-Band Wi-Fi

[Petnoone]

I have a Dual-Band AC router. How do I know if my S6 is actually using it to its full potential?

Not sure what you mean full potential. It can operate on both bands. If you are worried about speed then you can do a speed test

Do you mean use the 5ghz rather than 2.4?

I want to know if in fact my phone is actually using both bands and if it is using b, g, n or ac to communicate with my router.

Create a network in the router using only the 5 ghz band then just connect your phone to that network

The phone doesn't use both bands at the same time. Dual band router means it can run a 2.4 and 5 GHz network. You can have each network on another standard. Such as my 2.4 GHz runs N and my 5 GHz runs AC only.
