temporarily disable 5ghz wifi to connect 2.4ghz devices at RBK852
Hello, I have a RBK852 with router and satelite installed. I am facing the issue with some 2.4ghz devices that I can't connect them to my wifi due to the 5ghz. Is there a way to temporarily disable t...
You can't disable 5Ghz nor separate SSIDs on any Orbi AX System.
So you might want to also change the power output of the 5Ghz radio to 25%. Turn OFF ALL RBS temporarily. Then connect your mobile device at a distance from the RBR to ensure the mobile phone keeps connected to the 2.4Ghz radio. After you get the IoT device connected, re-configure the system back to where it was.
Be sure that 20/40 MHz Coexistence enabled.

Is there a way to temporarily disable the 5ghz to connect devices? I connect to the router and under wifi there are no options to toggle this on or off...... clearly a feature missing . Thanks in advance for your help and advice 🙂
