CHANNEL/BAND SELECTION

seamawr — Thu, 15 Feb 2024 18:23:05 GMT

MY ROUTER HAS 4 DEVICES ON 2.4 AND 3 ON 5GHZ. I NOW HAVE A WIFI DOORBELL THAT CAN ONLY CONNECT TO 2.4 . HOW DO I FORCE IT TO CONNECT NOT TO BAND 2 THE 5GHZ AND GET IT TO CONNECT TO BAND1 2.4GHZ

Hi @seamawr I'm guessing you already tried and failed following the doorbell instructions? If so best way is to temporarily disable the 5ghz in the router interface.

If it is only 2.4 GHz capable then there is no way it will try or be able to connect to the 5 GHz band.

Hi seamawr

My doorbell also connects on 2.4ghz, have you split the SSID's?
