Hello

Recently we have had fibre installed.

We have devices that will only set up using 2.5g.  I know I can turn off 5g but is there a way I can get the hub to allow me to choose between connecting to 5g and 2.5g when connecting to our new WiFi?

Thanks

With the EE Smart Hub Plus, unlike the EE Smart Hub, you cannot separate the wireless bands/SSIDs. Try on the Advanced > Wireless Settings page to temporarily disable the 5 GHz WiFi band & move off the Smart channel while connecting problematic 2.4 GHz devices.

@brads666 Hopefully they all connect fine, but you will not be able to split on the EE Router if you get the latest!
