Isolating 2.4 GHz On An EE Router

GioBG — Sun, 09 Oct 2022 16:43:18 GMT

I have recently bought a CD player which cannot find the EE Router when searching. The manual states

"If your router is dual band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) check if the two networks have the same name... you may be able to rename one of the bands or turn off the 5GHz whilst trying to connect the [CD player]. The CD player is for the 2.4GHz band only.

I use a mackbook pro.

How do I rename one of the bands and how do I turn off the 5GHz to connect the CD player, and then connect the 5GHZ back once done?

Thank you.

@GioBG : For the black EE Smart Hub, but not the white EE Smart Router, try separating the wireless bands/SSIDs. On the Advanced > Wireless Settings page of the SH there is a button near the top to Separate the Bands. Turn it ON. Then the 5GHz SSID will appear starting with "5GHz-" & the 2.4 GHz SSID not starting with "5GHz-". Then connect your devices to the 2.4 GHz SSID if they can't do 5GHz.

With the white EE Smart Router, unlike the black EE Smart Hub, you cannot separate the wireless bands/SSIDs. The most you can do is to temporarily disable the 5 GHz band & move off the Smart channel while connecting problematic 2.4 GHz devices.

@ReFuZD : SH = Smart Hub.
