Ability to force devices to 2.4Ghz or disable 5Ghz band temporarily
I purchased an Orbi router and I'm not able to use my phone to configure my devices that only support 2.4Ghz (alarm clock, security cameras). A lot of devices require your phone to be on the 2.4 ban...

What many end up doing is turn down the broadcast power of the 5ghz and disables its 5ghz ssid. this doesn't stop the actual broadcast. but if you disconnect your phone and reconnect it, many times you end up connected to the 2.4ghz and can setup your devices.
