Is there a way, that it is possible to adjust via the orbi app different devices to the different frequencies - if not does it mean, that my thermosthats wont work? Then i cant buy the orbi mesh system.

Thank You for Your help.

 

The system does not determine the 2.54 or 5GHZ, except for strength and distance.

If your thermostat or any device only supports 2.4Ghz, they will connect 2.4Ghz. If they supports 5Ghz, they will connect 5Ghz, unless they are below a level threshold to make a 5Ghz connection, then they will connect 2.4Ghz..
