Nighthawk Mesh 60 How to choose which frequency to connect to?
Netgear Nighthawk Mesh 60. My devices connect randomly to either the 2.4GHZ or 5 GHZ of the router. I need to choose which devices connect to which frequency. Does anyone know how to do this?

Again, AX1800 is a speed, not a model. Look at the label on the box/device.
(probably the MK62)
The phone needs to be connected to 2.4ghz for setup (lazy coding on the shark people to require this).
something you can try.
1. turn the broadcast power on the 5ghz radio down to 25%
2. disable its ssid broadcast
3. disconnect your phone from the wifi and move a room or 2 away. Then reconnect. It (hopefully) should connect to the 2.4ghz. Then you can setup the shark. Once setup, you can turn broadcast power back up and re-enable ssid broadcast.
