WIFI Channel Optimization. Unable to enable 2.4gHZ.

[welshman77]

Unable to use/connect various devices that require 2.4GHZ,  router configuration will not allow me to enable this.   Research found that has been fixed for other customers by disabling WIFI Optimisation.   Please disable.

Cheers Keith appreciated the efforts and the advice.

Then the router must be faulty. I have asked one of TalkTalk's support to pick your thread up and replace it for you.

They aim to respond within 48 hours (Monday - Friday) excluding Bank Holidays, but if more urgent you can always try the Service Centre on 0345 172 0088. The posts are responded to in time/date order, oldest first.

Hi Keith,  already performed factory reset, no joy. 

[KeithFrench]

That will not work for two reasons:-

1. WiFi optimisation does not have the power to disable a band, only to alter its channel & other WiFi parameters.
2. Even if it did, the TalkTalk staff here can no longer disable WiFi Optimisation.

Please perform a Factory Reset on your router.
