Carrier Infinity Touch Thermostat will not connect
Tried many permutations but thermostat will not connect. Hoped that IoT 2.4 GHz network would do the trick but no luck. Experimenting with a WNDR 4500 old router showed that a CTS setting of 200 ...
Carrier thermostats have proved to be frustrating in the past. Is this the process you are following?

(Perhaps you have a link to Carrier's WiFi setup instructions?)
The video is the procedure I followed. My experiment with the old Netgear WNDR 4500 involved setting it up the the same ssid and password, limiting it to 2.4 GHz, and doing a binary search type algorithm to find the smallest CTS setting that allowed the thermostat to connect -- 200 worked and 175 failed so the limit is somewhere in between. I made many connections and confirmed I was doing the Carrier process correctly.
I had hoped that once connected via the identical ssid/password to the 4500 that it would remain connected to the ORBI but no such luck. I have 4 thermostats, and none connects to the ORBI when previously they had all connected to an old Netgear or ASUS simple router.
