    Go to Advanced -> Advanced Setup -> Wireless Settings and uncheck the 5G checkbox then hit Apply

     

    Use the Web GUI at http://192.168.1.1

After a year of using this router, I didn't realize that the mobile app wasn't really logged into the router's full administration capabilities.

Was that IP address shown in the documentation?  Ah well, got it now.

Thanks a million!!

       Many things are.  Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your
    model number, and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.

       You're a braver man than I.  Fearing another 5G v. 5GHz confusee, I
    was afraid to ask.
