cm500 how to switch to 2.4ghz

how can I get into settings to change network to 2.4ghz?  I have some lights that are wifi enabled and 2 of the 4 keep losing signal.  I thought maybe I could try to make sure they are on the right channel.

  • Click advanced setup then customize wifi network. In the customize your wifi- create a separate 2.4GHz wifi network section after that select customize 2.4 GHz wifi network. Enter a network name (SSID) for your 2.4GHz network.

    The CM500 is a modem only device. It has no wireless functions. 

    so there isn't anything to change on it. 

    What actual router do you have?
