Switching to 2.4 GHZ on a dual band
Does anyone know if I can set the R6220 dual band router to 2.4 GHZ only? I have a Google Mesh System at the moment and I need a separate network using 2.4 GHZ only and google will not allow that. ...
I did check "use the same password." I was able to get into the firmware dashboard. I did everything anyone has ever suggested in the numerous forums I've checked when researching this problem. Then I found it. - in the set up wizard there is a place to enter the router's password - it says "passphrase" with a box next to it (and next to that box is a icon you can click on that says "generate" ) Turns out that is NOT the box in which to put the password. In goes in the box below that says Key 1. Why in God's name that is supposed to make sense to enter the password where it says Key 1, vs the box that actually says "passphrase" is beyond me.

Did you? I'll admit that I was too lazy to post an annotated picture
of the referenced page. I'm accustomed to dealing with grown-ups who
can read a book by themselves. Sorry.
