Is Smart Connect enabled on the router.
Do you see the 2.4Ghz LED ON or blinkining any top of the router?&nbsp;

Hi yes the router 2.4ghz light is on and shows as connected and working but won’t show up under networks. It should show up as Netgear 2.4ghz isn’t it ? Just like Netgear 5ghz

Some devices can combine 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz into a single SSID.

If you have smart connect enabled, the 2.4ghz and 2x 5ghz bands will all show up under one ssid. (one network)&nbsp;
Devices will switch between the networks as needed.&nbsp;
You can disable it if you want so you can separate out the 3x networks.&nbsp;
