Can I set up multiple channels with this modem? 5.0 and 2.4
I'm trying to install a Honeywell smart thermostat but found out it's not compatible with 5.0 Modem speeds, needs to be 2.5 (2.4?). Is there a way to set up this modem to have 2 channels ? I have a main Wifi set up as well as a Guest Wifi and could use the Guest if needed.
The cm1000 is a modem only. It has no router or wireless capability.
What actual router do you have?

Thanks for the quick response. I'm using an EERO router and a SMARTTHINGS hub
so you'd want to check with eero's forum/support for the best way to connect a smart device.
The modem doesn't do anything with wireless.

Thanks for directing me to the router. I was able to contact EERO and learned how to temporarily suspend 5.0 to set up the 2.4 devise. Stay safe
