Have 5GHz but also need to be able to choose 2.4GHz - how can I add the 2.4GHz option?

    What hardware model, what firmware are you talking about here?

     

    Newer models make use of one SSID for both the 2.4 and the 5 GHz band, so it's up to the client to decide on the better signal.

    It should be in your routers WiFi configuration settings if it exists.

    You may need to enable 2.4 and choose a seperate SSID than the 5G....
