    What are you trying to do? 

    Orbi systems all use a signal SSID name for both 2.4 and 5Ghz signals. They can not be separated. Most devices connect to them automatically and choose where they connect too. Orbi just provides a platform to connect too. Any 2.4Ghz only devices will never see 5Ghz.

      Yes, both my doorbell and curtains need to be connected to 2.4G, but my mobile phone is always connected to 5G, so my home APP cannot be set up, and it prompts me to choose a 2.4G network connection
