The fan requires a 2.4Ghz band and I cannot figure out how to connect it so that I can control it using a Google speaker. It worked fine when I was using the Netgear Nighthawk Model R6700.
So we can best help you, what is the exact make and model of your fan? And how are you trying to connect it to your new Orbi:
- Did you set the same wireless SSID and password on your Nighthawk so you expect everything to reconnect automatically?
- Or, are you now using the fan's app or website to try and connect it manually?
