Trying to connect Tesla PowerWall
Powerwall won’t connect because it needs a 2.4ghz network. Any thoughts for a workaround?

What are you trying to connect it to?
Pretty much all netgears routers have 2.4ghz.
Its usually just an issue of making sure the device you're trying to use for going through setup is actually connected to the 2.4ghz. (actually lazy coding on the app part)
The PowerWall instructions are clear that the product requires a 2.4G WiFi network.

All Netgear WiFi systems provide a 2.4G WiFi channel.
At what step does the connection process fail?
I get through the whole process to the last step, when the Powerwall tries to connect to my WiFi network. It simply won’t connect.
