I have a device (wireless grill controller) that uses a handoff from my phone (iOS 12.1) to join the network. The device is 2.4 Ghz capable only. Can I create a 2.4G only SSID? Alternatively, can I...
Welp, here is step one of the controller’s setup process
1. If you have a dual band router, ensure you have separate network names, or SSIDs, for the 2.4 and 5.0 bands (aka 2.4 and 5.0Ghz signal, frequency, network, or radio). In order to reconnect the split networks later we want to rename the 5.0 signal and not the 2.4 signal. This allows reconsolidation without losing the grill from the WiFi network.
Can I temporarily disable the 5Ghz radio in the Orbi?
No. You can turn down the power output of the 5Ghz radio from 100% to say 25% and see if that helps.
Just curious, what is the purpose of this wireless grill device?

Sorry for the long delay, thanks for your input on my issue.
The grill controller connects to my phone, shows me temperatures in the pit, and temperature outputs from 2 meat probles. More importantly it, allows me to startup/shutdown and adjust the temperature setpoint of my wood pellet smoker/grill.
