So you might want to also change the power output of the 5Ghz radio to 25% on the RBR. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings. Turn OFF any RBS temporarily. Then connect your mobile device at a distance from the RBR to ensure the mobile phone keeps connected to the 2.4Ghz radio. After you get the IoT device connected, re-configure the system back to where it was.
