Can you seperate the wifi bands and name on ee smart hub pro

[TheWirralWhite]

Having major connection issues with all my chromecasts since upgrading to Android 14, guaranteed google will say opt for just 5g bands,  if this possible seen conflicting info saying possible on some ee routers but not all?

Not on the Main Wifi SSID but I believe (there is on the SH Plus) there is a separate Compatible WiFi SSID that you can also use.

Try setting up Compatible WiFi on the router under Advanced > Wireless Settings & connect your device to that.

Will this allow me to specify 5g for it?

[GSoave]

Yes, you can specify to just have 5GHz, or just 2.4GHz, or both 5GHz and 2.4Ghz active on the compatible Wi-Fi mode. 

[XRaySpeX]

Yes, both or either 5GHz or 2.4GHz bands.

Tried and for some reason beyond me the CCwGtv seethe the compatibility band but doesn't recognise password even though correct, think more of a update to the chromecasts  OS issue as all 3 of my devices are affected.

Also see compatibility but just see ability to turn on and off the 5g other grayed out.

[XRaySpeX]

Some say removing the '-' or any other symbols from the Compatible SSID might fix it. Some devices don't like 'em.

You should be able the turn ON or OFF the Compatible WiFi's 2.4 GHz band.

[TheWirralWhite]

Will give that a go

What version Chromecasts do you have? I’ve got a bunch of Chromecasts/Chromecast Audios and they connect fine to the default WiFi network on my Pro.

Not sure you can turn off 2.4GHz on Compatible WiFi.

Sadly didn't make any difference,  still have issue, did think was a lil bit of a long shot
