Creating 2.4GHz and 5GHz channel
The Nighthawk App used to show both channels and I was able to put certain devices on my Guest Wi-fi for all my 2.4GHz needs, while other devices remained on my 5GHz channel. Now I cannot find a way ...
Logging in to Router allows so much more access to everything and that was a success. I managed to set up both the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz networks, however, there is one app (device) that does not want to behave. I cannot seem to locate it under the 2.4 from the 5. This lighting bridge only connects via 2.4. I wonder if I can remove the device altogether from the MR, but it just seems strange that I don't have the option to move any of my devices to whichever network I choose. Prior to this latest NH App, I was able to move devices around via the app and had the lights and bridge working fine. Oh well.

You can connect the device to a specific network name/SSID - though that is done in the device itself.
If you are using the same SSID for 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz, then there is no way to provision this in any Netgear router. But the lighting bridge won't connect to 5 ghz, since it sounds like it only has a 2.4 ghz radio. So there is no need to set up anything special in the router.
You should check your security settings - is the router set up to allow WPA2+WPA3? Or is it configured to require WPA3? Many older devices don't support WPA3.
Might try resetting this one device and setup from scratch.
Make contact with the Mfr of this device as well.Logging in to Router allows so much more access to everything and that was a success.
