Re: Can I create a 2.4GHz only guest network?

 

Thank you st_shaw !!! (mentioning you because I couldn't figure out how to reply to your specific post)

"One other thing to try is to manually set your Orbi 2.4 GHz channel to 1, 6, or 11.  There's a small chance that Orbi is using a channel the Nokia devices don't support."

 

That worked for me. The device I had connection issues with was a Canon g3260 printer. It worked for years and then one day I just couldn't print anymore. The printer showed as connected to my network and on the same SSID as my Macbook but my Macbook "couldn't find the printer".

 

Once I went into the router (Orbi) settings and changed the 2.4 Channel for the SSID from 'Auto" to 1, it worked!

 

Just wanted to say thanks 🙌 and post this so it might help Canon printer users in the future.
