Orbi - Force 2.4GHz only to connect smart devices
I have smart devices that can only be set up through a 2.4GHz wireless connection. How to I turn off the Orbi 5GHz signal until I complete smart device set ups? Thank you
I found an empirical but functional solution to solve the problem.
By setting from advanced wireless settings the transmission power of 5 ghz to 25% and putting the mobile phone and the device remotely from the router or satellite, only 2.4 works. So I managed to configure everything. Then just bring the power back to 100%.
