After setting it up I'm very happy with the Wi-Fi coverage but I cannot get my Harmony Hub to connect to the WiFi. I read that it's possibly being problematic because the Harmony Hub only connects on 2.4 GHz.Try changing CTS/RTS Threshold to 2347 using the web admin portal at http://orbilogin.com, Advanced tab, Advanced...Wireless Settings. I find that this maximizes compatibility with older 2.4Ghz devices.
The Hamony hub can be connected on a computer using their MyHarmony app and the remote plugged in via USB, no phone or phone app involved. As others have posted, it communicates to the hub and you select the 2.4Ghz wifi access point as detected by the hub.

Devices on the Guest WiFi do not have access to the primary WiFi network unless that option has been selected in the WiFi setup.
Having to switch the phone from the primary WiFi network to the Guest network every time you want to control the Harmony would seem to be tedious. I would grow tired of it within an hour.
