Thank you so much worked for me...I turned off my 2 satellites and went into my garage. I connected all my smart outlets in there.
First off shut off the nighthawk app. Access the router via a webpage, type in 192.168.1.1 and hit enter. Username will be Admin and the password will either be password or 1234, hit enter and you'll connect to the router. It will force you to create a new password and put in some information. Once done you'll be able to see all the router settings.
You can really mess things up if you don't know what you're doing, if you do, reset your router.
At the top you'll see Basic/Advanced settings, go to Advanced. You'll see a category on the left WIFI- select it, by default they have the 2.4Ghz band just off, just enable it by hitting the check box next to it.
Save your settings and you should be able to connect to the items that require 2.4 Ghz network.
I was using the web browser on a PC.
Thanks, things are working fine. No upgrade for me I'll be getting starlink soon and see if I need anything.
