How to restrict Guest network to 2.4 Ghz?
I would like to create a Guest network with 2.4 GHz band ONLY. This is to allow products from WYZE to connect (cameras, power switches, robot vacuum cleaner). (With a tri-band network, they fail to c...
IF these devices are only 2.4Ghz, then they will never see 5Ghz ever.
theres no way to specify either frequency on Orbi Systems.
Orbi 9 series has a specific 2.4Ghz only radio that you can configure.
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Correct - these devices can't even know if there is a 5 GHz or soon a 6 GHz radio is on-air, too - so these can't care abut.
ChuckMoose Do we face the situation that we have a WYZE discovery app still insisting to be connected to the 2.4 GHz band - even if the same SSID is in use for all bands, the the wireless clients prefer 5 GHz for many good reasons? Then I would suggest to talk to the maker of these products. Look, you can tune to an FM station even if the same station is on SirusXM, short wave, ....
I've talked with the WYZE support "wizards". I'm getting the same runaround each time.
