2.4 Ghz network issue
I've set up a 2.4 GHz wifi network on my router but none of my devices will see it. Band: 2 4 GHz WPA/WPA2. Restarted the router but none of my devices will see it. Any thoughts?
I reset the gateway and reconfigured it creating 5G and 2.4G bands just like before and now all devices see both bands
So seems like the gateway required a reset. Don't know why, but I'm good now.
Thanks all
Your gateway can support up to five Wi-Fi network configurations. You can use a mixture in your home. Did you keep the default network that was installed on the gateway? It is 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz with WPA2/WPA3 security. It should work for most devices. 2.4 GHz with reduced security of WPA/WPA2 should be reserved for devices that don't like the default network. Perhaps your devices are requiring the higher level of security (WPA2/WPA3). Typical devices that work better on the dedicated 2.4 GHz WPA/WPA2 network include older printers and some home security cameras and garage door openers and the like. Because it is lower security, use it as little as possible and make the network hidden. Oh, is it possible that you did make your 2.4 GHz network hidden? As I recall, it's a slider at the very bottom of the settings. You can make it not hidden until you get everything set up, then make it hidden later.
