Am I able to force my orbi to put my phone on the 2.4 only and not allow it on 5.0?
I have 2.4 and 5.0 avilable. Mose things in my home connect to 2.5 but my phone always goes to 5.0. Is there a setting that will allow me to tell orbi to only let my phone onto the 2.5 network? Sry i...
The fact that the Orbi places your phone on 5g is because it determines that is the best choice based on proximity to the signal. As you move through your home it may change freqs. 5G works better up close.
I had a device that had to be installed through my phone to the 2.4 side. I had to reduce the 5G power to 25% and unplug one of the Sats. Once the device was connect throught the phone I put everything back to it's original state.
There has been some discussion on this forum about how to break the 2 Orbi SSIDs out. Search for it. Good luck.
