Unable to turn off 5ghz signal to setup Tuya devices?

I've been really unimpressed with my Netgear Nighthawk Mesh Wifi system (MR60). The features of it are lacking and its missing the ability to even turn off my 5ghz network to setup Tuya devices! Is there a way to do so and I'm just missing it? If so please let me know.

    Hello tomtho,

     

    The MR60 is a Mesh system and does not support the feature of separating/disabling the 2.4GHz and 5GHz band.

     

    Regards,

    I’m equally disappointed. I’ve found out that many midrange robot vacuum cleaners will only connect to 2.4GHz signals, and the one I have can’t see the Mesh signal as anything other than 5GHz.

    The vacuum company tell you to speak to the router company about separating the signals.

    It’s a basic function of every router I’ve had, so it’s disappointing that the MR60 can’t.
