R6250 - Problems trying to set up a group of security cameras and smartphone using Netgear's wifi
Please repost this if it is in the wrong router type. I don't know if my router is a Nighthawk, I assume not. I set up my router's two wifi networks (2.4 & 5G) and connected my Pixel 2XL smartpho...
OK, I did not find a way to get the WPS of the router to work in 2.4G, nor did I find a way to get my smartphone to connect to the router in 2.4G mode but it doesn't matter now.
I found a command in a greyed out box on the smartphone app for the two cameras which I had to manually add to my router and that command let me manually add the last two cameras to my smartphone and access them with the app through the router even though they are not on the same speed protocol.
So, I'm going to mark this as solved although it is technically a workaround but I'm happy with it.
