HOW TO DISABLE 5G TEMPORARILY ON ORBI ROUTER
HELLO, I own an Orbi system and recently obtained a Personal Weather station that does direct uploads to various weather sites online. The weather station will only connect to Wi-Fi via a 2.4GHZ sys...
I also had issues connecting a 2.4Ghz device to my Orbi network. Since I can no longer easily turn off the 5Ghz radio, I Instead temporarily gave the 5Ghz radio a different ssid than the 2.4Ghz radio. This way I was able to connect my 2.4Ghz only device with no issues. After setup of that device, I restored the ssid on the 5Ghz radio and everything seems to work just fine. I used the Netgear genie app to do this, you can also log in t the Orbi's IP address.
