How do you know that?
You say that the 2.4 GHz LED is lit. What wifi receivers are you using that can't see it?
Are there two separate SSIDs.
None of my devices see a 2.4 signal. But my laptop does see a 2.4 signal from the same router that i have installed at my office, so something seems off with this specific router. Devices like my laptop, Alexa and Apple TV can all see and connect to the 5G signal but I have some other devices, Ring door bell cam, sonos speaker, that can only use a 2.4 signal and I've never been able to get one out of this router.
I've done the factory reset, full unplug, etc.. etc.. updated the firmware, did it all again. Nothing.
You still have not given a direct answer to the question, do you have separate SSIDs configured for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands?
How long has this router been in service? Are you the original owner?
