connecting smart plug(2.4ghz) to CM1200 + Google nest wifi router config.

Hi,

 

I would like to have my smart plugs connected to new set up but having really hard time find a way to make 2.4ghz enabled.

even I connected to http://192.168.100.1/, it doesn't show options to enable 24ghz.

Thats because the CM1200 isn't a router. Its a modem only device. 

It doesn't have router/wifi capability.

thank you. does that mean I have to do something with Nest to enable 2.4ghz?

Most google routers that I've seen are dual band. (haven't seen a single band one)

So more than likely, 2.4ghz is already enabled. 
Just make sure your phone is on the 2.4ghz while you're setting up your smart switches.
