PS4 Pro Wont Connect to the 5GHz Signal
So I just recently purchased the Orbi RBK40 router and I noticed you cannot separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi signals through normal methods. I was told that the router has a system or program that automatically pushes the best connection possible. All the devices that support a 5GHz connection seem to connect just fine. However, there are two PS4 Pros in the house and the router refuse to connect it to the 5GHz conncetion. Under my network settings on both PS4 Pro say they are on a 2.4 GHz conncetion. Even under the router GUI it says that it's connected to the 2.4 GHz conncetion. I've been trying to look up methods on how to connect it mannually but no luck. I found a post that teaches how to separate the SSIDs for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz and it worked, however the devices that were connceting to the 5GHz were experincing lag issues and would not have a consistent download rate. I usually average between 145-150 Mbps download when I don't split the SSIDs. However, when they are separate SSIDs, the download ranges from 6-130 Mbps and is never consistent. Not to mention, when the SSIDs are split, the PS4s seems to disconnect from the router frequently. Long story short, is there a way to connect the PS4 Pro to the 5GHz connection?C6300 won't connect to 2.4g (5g is fine)
I am trying to install a device and somehow when it is scanning for networks, it won't detect my 5G connection, only my 2.4G connection. But when I tried to connect to the 2.4G, it keeps giving me "connection failed". I checked my password and I am sure I have it right (it is the same password as my 5G). I tried to connect to 2.4G via my computer and phone and also failed. I have powered off the modem/router and turned it back on already. I remember my 2.4G worked last year, so somewhere between this year and last, something went wrong, but I didn't touch the settings at all. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
