Can't change Chromecast to 2.4 GHZ on Orbi RBR350
Hi all, I want to adjust my chromecast device to 2.4 ghz instead of 5. But it seems there is no option in the Orbi app. Can anyone help me out? Casting is a lot of patience atm... thanks!
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
How many RBS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set CTS to 2347. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Most dual band wifi devices are tuned to prefer to connect to 5Ghz signals over 2.4Ghz. So it's up to the wifi device to pick and choose what it connects too...
