Changing guest network from 5GHz to 2.4GHz
Hi. I am a computer/internet amateur and an grateful for the help. I have a Nighthawk Mesh 6 extender with 2 satellites, with my primary and one guest network. I have recently acquired an automated hydroponic garden that needs to be connected to a 2.4Ghz connection, and I believe my guest network is set at 5GHz. I would like to set it to 2.4Ghz and use this for my garden, but I cannot find where to change the setting.
I did go to routerlogin.net and made what i think is another “line” that I set for 2.4GHz, but I don’t think that is working.
I appreciate any kind of help. Thank you.

Your guest wireless should have both 2.4 and 5 ghz enabled by default. There are Netgear products that give the Router admin the ability to configure an IoT network with only 2.4. Check the manual, or login to your Router's management via a web browser and check your options under the wireless setup screen. I have my IoT configured with 2.4 only. My two cents anyway. Best of luck. Please follow up and advise how things are going.
