I need Help Splitting WiFi into 2.4 and 5 networks

[pebbleridge13]

Hi,

I need to connect a new smart device to my Vodafone Hub and I need 2.4GHZ to achieve but I can't find a setting to split the signal to do it.

Is this possible with my hub (it's a Grey rectangular Hub) I can't find anything like a model number on it. 

I hope you can help

Hi,

I also have the THG3000 hub and for some reason, one of my smart devices (a Timeguard Wi-Fi Fused Spur switch) decided to go off line recently. Long story short, the supplier replaced what I had assumed was a faulty switch but the new one would not get back online either (controlled by the Tuya app running on my Galaxy A33 phone connected at 5gHz to my THG3000 hub). I read some of these posts and decided to try and attach a wireless 2.4gHz router (Netgear N900 dual band) to my THG3000 hub and connect the smart switch that way.

It worked although I had to add the smart switch manually rather than the Tuya app pairing automatically. The smart switch will still not play nicely with the THG3000 hub so I have it permanently connected to the Netgear router at 2.4gHz.

If you don't mind an extra router kicking about, this is a solution which seems to be working OK for far for me 🙂

I'm having wifi splitting problems with my vf power hub (model DGM4137VDF wifi6). The phone app don't work, so I tried it through the pc. There just isn't a spitting option available anymore

I need a dedicated 2.4g network for a close proximity device. Tried all options in this thread to no avail.

Would hooking up a cheap single band 2.4g only router to one of the lan connections work?
Perhaps a tp-link WR841N?

Absolutely, make sure you set it to access point mode if you get a router, possibly a dedicated access point may be neater,

However, what's a close proximity device, and why does it need a dedicated 2.4 GHz network.

Mine are combined but I do have multiple SSIDs. One is 2.4 only for IOT devices (and they are on a vlan). The other has 2.4 and 5, used by family devices (phones, computers, etc).

I might be able to turn off 2.4 on the "family" band - but haven't taken the time to see if any device doesnt support 5 yet.
