Fast Flash - Fails / Times out at the step where it is trying to make the connection (screen on phone shows 1/90, 2/90 etc.)
Slow Flash - Fails / Times out at the step where it is trying to make the connection (screen on phone shows 1%, 2% etc.)
I determined that the iPhone was connected via 5G from the Netgear Attached Devices screen. When I forgot the network on the iPhone, I waited until it disappeared from that screen, then I logged back in and waited until it reappeared.

Thanks. It's frustrating that the iPhone network setting does not show the connection frequency? (My Android clearly says "Frequency 5G" or "Frequency 2.4G". )
The video is so blurry that I cannot figure out the difference between the WiFi states that the user chooses from. Have you tried them all?
