RBK752 - what wi-fi plugs actually work with orbi (since there is no way to get 2.4 gHz)
Two questions : 1. How do you get 2.4 connections so i can set up wi-fi plugs? 2. what apps work like smartlife that can scan multiple brands and are feature-rich I am trying to figure out what...

I haven't found one that doesn't work. The orbi has 2.4ghz its just combined with the 5ghz and bandsteers.
I have probably around 5-10 different plugins, 20 lights, a a bunch of random light strips/IoT devices.

thanks for the quick response - i have tried at least three different brands now (latest being Govee) - i just cannot get the apps to recognize it as 2.4 (keeps warning me that its a 5 GHz connection, and that i need to change)
which app do you recommend?
