This may be the most common question on the forum. 99% of the time, this statement about 2.4G WiFi is similar to the statement "requires 2 AA batteries. If you have NO 2.4G WiFi network, (none, zero) then the device cannot connect because it has only a 2.4G WiFi radio chip. (If you have only C cells and D cell, that gizmo that requires 2 AA cells cannot work.)
Just go ahead and set it up. Any time a warning appear, just click on "Continue"
If there is a problem, please report what the device is and someone on the forum will probably have suggestions on how to proceed.
