Unable to Access Device Manager to switch to 2.4 GHz
When I go into the Netgear website, it longer allows me into the Device Manager. The app does show the devices but is limited. For some reason, one night last week, it appeared briefly but now I can...
Appreciate the quick reply. And thanks for sharing the website. That is exactly what I was looking for. I had it saved but it kept sending me to the netgear page without any link to the device manager.
The device is Orbi 153.
As for the app, I'm unsure what warning you're referring to. Perhaps you're referring to the notification about 2.4 GHz in the app for the lights? When I irst used the app, it did state that the lights did to use 2.4 GHz. I knew the router was set for both 5 and 2.4. My expectation is that it would link in to the 2.4 as a priority. I have had to spend several minutes (i.e., hours) trying to connect each light to the wifi.
Out of 3 lights I have, 1 I could never get connected, even when I brought the ORBI satellite to within a few feet. The other two dro intermittently. Then I need to go back and spend several minutes trying to get them reconnected. It's maddending.
I can try the SSID below.
One addendum. I just tried to go back to the page above, which was working fine. It now sends me to: https://www.netgear.com/home/services/orbilogin/
This is what happened last week. It's a bit nuts.
