MR60 Separating 2.4Ghz and 5.Ghz
I am trying to figure out how to separate my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. My TV supports both but i need it to lock onto the 2.4Ghz band so i can have it connect to my phone and smart home assistant. Mode...
I've been struggling with the same issue where my IoT GU10 lamps and IoT cameras have been connecting and falling off the network since installing the MK63 (MR60 and 2x MS60 satellites) because the bulbs need a 2.4ghz network connection and aren't happy with the Dual band SSID.
Happily, I found that there's an update to the router software in Advanced Wireless Setup which now does allow the WiFi to be split into 2.4ghx and 5ghz. I'll be connecting everything IoT I can to the 2.4ghz and then hide the SSID for security. Everything else which uses 5ghz will connect fine anyway.
