Nighthawk Mesh 6
I'm unable to access 2.4 G for my Blink system with this router. Any ideas how to split the 2G and 5G? thanks!
I had the same issue with my Orbi wifi 5. The Blink cameras worked (I have about 30) but I had intermittent issues with uploading. Long delays and dropped connections. I bought the MK83 (MR80 router) because it allows to split 2.4 and 5 ghz. Made a huge difference in reliability. The Orbi and other Netgear routers do not allow for a split. Netgear removed the ability to telnet to the Orbi which allowed for a hack to split, but not anymore. Not sure why it makes such a big difference since the cameras can't connect at 5ghz, it should just ignore any conflicts. Anyway.....
Here's the link from Netgear to split SSIDs. https://kb.netgear.com/000063027/Can-I-create-separate-2-4GHz-and-5GHz-SSIDs-on-my-Nighthawk-Tri-band-Mesh-WiFi-6-products.
