Good morning to all. Thank you very much for being such a great support. I managed to figure it all out and not only is my router solid with itemized channels, but now my lights work great. I'm very happy with my M70 Mesh and Nighthawk and Netgear stuff. Just for information sake, a substantial error on my part of the troubleshooting process occurred on the device site. I failed to scroll low enough to see the Remove Device option on the bridge. Removing and reinstalling allowed the bridge to connect automatically to the 2.4G channel. Dumb mistake but it's fixed. Thanks again to everyone.
