Can I Temporarily Turn Off 5GHz?
I've looked on the Orbi iOS app and at orbilogin.net, and can't see if this is possible or not.
I have a new Whirlpool microwave that can connect to my WiFi, but it can only connect on the 2.4G...
Turn the 5Ghz radio power on the Orbi router down from 100% to 25% on the 5Ghz radio and see if you can get the device connected.
You may run into same problem with other MESH systems based on the fact that they do single SSID names for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios.
Consule your device mfr for help and information regarding MESH systems and compatibility.

I agree. This needs to be remedied ASAP. I'm trying to setup the MyQ garage doors and the inability to use 2.4 only is maddening. I'm about 5 mins away from destroying the thing and going to google mesh.
Where is that done? I'm logged into the web interface and not seeing anything mentioning radio power.
Try under Advanced Tab/Advanced/Wireless Settings....

This worked flawlessly. Thank you for the info. Gave up on the nighthawk model paid a bit more but working like a champ now.
