Many smart or security devices require that you connect to 2.4GHz networks during the setup phase. This could be as easy as selecting from a list of available networks on your smart phone but many times this is not the case and setting up that smart or security device just does not work . This video was created to help with connecting to your 2.4GHz network and getting that smart or security device configured and connected to your Wi-Fi. We also provide some great information on the differences between 2.4Ghz and 5GHz.

I am speechless after having watched your video. I was about the smash the 2.4g CCTV camera and about to buy a '4G camera' when I had decided to dig in more into the 2.4g/5g debate and learn a bit more as to why things are different. Your explanation is absolutely crystal clear. Hope to get it going now. Many thanks!

I bought a lamp from amazon almost a month ago. Ive legit tried a million times to connect it to the wifi. Also my humidifier wouldn't connect. I watched a ton of videos but nothing was clear. Finally Finally i found your video!!! Im so greatful! I thought i would have to return the lamp cause i couldnt figure it out. But this video was so helpful!! It took me many many tries!! 4 hours later and its finally up and running from my fone!! Thank you for the detailed instructions it was super helpful ❤

Thanks so much for this video which really helped. In my case, all I had to do was to walk away from my property until the wifi connection dropped. As I slowly walked back, my phone reconnected to the 2.4GHz band and it has stayed on that even back in the house, so I have been able to connect all my smart devices without any problems before reconnecting my phone to 5GHz. Perfect 😊

Can i revert back to Bandsteer after setting up the device connection.

@senexhome Жыл бұрын

If you have separate SSID's I would think yes. Once connected your device should be able to access the 2.4gHz band

Not concerned about lamps light bulbs or all that. I just need a stronger signal for my phone to pickuo in pattio area where signal is weak do to wall penetration issues. 2.4 is supposedly better for that.????

@senexhome 22 күн бұрын

Yes 2.4 is better for penetration and range. It would be the best option.

I've done everything it says ti reconnect and nothing is working, it says, my centurylink is connected, but still it comes up my ring doorbeel is off line. I've had no service since 8/17/2023. I've contacted support and no one has gotten back to me

Hi, thanks for watching my video. Just a few questions in order to help. When you say "my centrylink is connected" can you tell me where you are seeing this message? Do you have any other 2.4ghz devices on your network that are working? How far is your Ring door bell from your router? Can you move it closer and try? What model of Ring are you using?

@SteveStowell Ай бұрын

You do not need separate ssid’s. I have about 70 items which require 2.4 and have a single ssid and no issues

Man I’ve tryed absolutely everything and understand it all clearly but still to no prevail it will NOT SHOW , 2.4 even with band stearing off and ssid named seperate , Telstra smart gen 2 modem , wat the hell do I do , it use to work once upon a time now nothing shows except 5G crap , please help not even service provider have answers for me hmmmmmmmmm

Hi. Thanks for viewing our video. I assume the 2.4Ghz doesn't show on any of your devices. Since you tried all the basics like disabling Band Steering, separate SSID's then maybe a factory reset may work. You may want to retry a couple of times. Have you tried using Guest? Seems there are a lot of issues with 2.4Ghz on this particular model. Maybe have your provider replace it?
