CONNECTING TO ROOMBA 960

I cannot get my Roomba to connect with my MR60 Nighthawk mesh wifi 6 router. The Roomba needs to connect to 2.4GH and Roomba tech support thinks it's only picking up the 5.0GH. Is there a way I can make it connect to 2.4GH?

Got it working. I deleted and reinstalled the app. It connected and finished the installation process.

Re: CONNECTING TO ROOMBA 960
Here again, also the Roomba 960 does have a 2.4GHz only interface, why should it even try to connect to the 5 GHz radio?
Considering both radios and the LAN ports on the Nighthawk Mesh system connect to the very same L2 network, ask thier support why it could make a difference if the phone running the discover/config App does come to that L2 network over 5 GHz (or is even on another access point) - this is the "it's only picking up the 5.0GHz" part (their support needs to learn reding their product specs!) - while the IoT device does connect to 2.4 GHz only - this is the "make it connect to 2.4GHz". Everything is perfeclty L2 transparent on the [W]LAN side, as it's ONE NETWORK, the communication is fully transparent.
There is no reason why an App should ask to connect the mobile to the router 2.4 GHz interface...

Re: CONNECTING TO ROOMBA 960
Doesn't the App (or the support) state the mobile device with the App must be connected to the 2.4 GHz radio?
