I temporarily stopped broadcasting the 5ghz using the advanced settings and connected my Echo to 2.4 successfully. However, as soon as I turned the 5ghz back on, the Echo automatically connected to the 5ghz. I will try what you suggest about lowering the power down to 25%.
Drewmama Is this what you did? >> I went to Advance>Wireless> Advanced Wireless Settings (5GHz 802.11a/n/ac) and unchecked both the "Enable SSID Broadcast" and "Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings" boxes. Then clicked "Apply". But the 5G signal was still available and devices still connected to it. I then assumed that stopping the broadcast was not the same as actually turning it off? So that is when I turned the power down to 25%
