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...

Turning down the radio Transmit Power on 5GHz is a wonderfully simple & effective solution. This information should be broadcast and shared, at least until Netgear adds a quick "Turn off 5GHz to connect 2.5GHz only devices option" for when app connection is required.
Thank you. Worked perfectly for a Wyze Cam Pan AND an Ecovacs robot vacuum.
