Connecting iPhone to 2.4 Ghz band ?
I need to perform a one-time setup on my network between my iPhone 6 (app) and a weather station. The Weather Station only utilizes the 2.4g band. Any Ideas? thanks, Pat
To get it onto 2.4, you could try to move the phone some distance from the Orbi, it should automatically drop back to 2.4GHz. (You can check this from the orbi attached devices page if you're running 2.0 firmware). When you move back towards the Orbi, the phone will normally stick to 2.4GHz unless you disconnect/reconnect to wifi.
I actually needed to do the opposite trick to get My Samsung R1 speakers to connect to 5GHz instead of 2.4 (it seemed to always adopt the band that the phone was on when setting it up via the app).
