Can I Temporarily Turn Off 5GHz?
I've looked on the Orbi iOS app and at orbilogin.net, and can't see if this is possible or not.
I have a new Whirlpool microwave that can connect to my WiFi, but it can only connect on the 2.4G...
Where is that done? I'm logged into the web interface and not seeing anything mentioning radio power.
Try under Advanced Tab/Advanced/Wireless Settings....

This worked flawlessly. Thank you for the info. Gave up on the nighthawk model paid a bit more but working like a champ now.
Turning down the radio Transmit Power on 5GHz is a wonderfully simple & effective solution. This information should be broadcast and shared, at least until Netgear adds a quick "Turn off 5GHz to connect 2.5GHz only devices option" for when app connection is required.
Thank you. Worked perfectly for a Wyze Cam Pan AND an Ecovacs robot vacuum.
Glad that worked.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
