Thanks for the update. I just found another conversation on connecting wireless thermostats and the issue that they were having.
1. Open the T-mobile Internet app
2. Go to the Network tab at the bottom
3. Click on the "+" sign to add a network
4. Add in the information for a 2nd network and change the frequency band to 2.4 GHz.
Done. Now you have 2 networks and 1 is 2.4 only.
I used following via the T-Mobile app and created a 2nd WIFI at 2.4 GHz, WPA2 and AES WUPA Encryption Mode. This might be a better option without impacting the security options on the router. I'm also hopeful when we install a new WIFI thermostat that it will allow us to use either network.
I was able to fix but I'm not sure of the technical aspects behind it. I changed security settings on the T-Mobile router from WPA2/3 (default?) to WPA (no trailing digits). This meant my older iPad devices were able to connect. I don't know the security ramifications of this, in case someone cares to explain.
