WIRELESS DUAL BAND ROUTER Switching between 2.4g and 5g.
I created a different SSID name for the 2.4ghz but when I select that name from the wifi drop down it is never able to connect. I'm currently connected to the 5ghz network but I need to be able to us...

Hmm, well, here are a few suggestions.
Passwords are case sensitive, so be sure to enter upper- and lower-case letters correctly.
Try changing the password to something simpler, just for testing purposes.
Use WPA2 security, but if you have an old device, then use WPA+WPA2 for compatibility.
Try changing the Wi-Fi channel. Occasionally, some devices will not work at certain channels.
Consider upgrading firmware if a newer version exists.
If it still doesn't work, then try a factory reset. Write down the settings and re-enter them by hand. Do not use a backed up configuration file; it may be corrupted.
Good luck.
