Cannot get a 5.0 network to work!
I have successfully partitioned my network (2.4 works great!) but I cannot get the 5.0 partition to work. I have deleted and recreated the network multiple times, checked all settings, passwords etc....
Does the Fire TV device see the 2.4 network that you set up? Can it connect to that? Most of the time, devices don't need you to split the networks because they are designed to connect to the combined network and use the one that best suits the device. If the device needs a separate network, it is to connect solely to 2.4 GHz because they don't use 5 GHz. This is common with printers, garage door openers, and other specific devices like that.
If the 5 GHz network is working for your other devices, then the only thing I can think of is that Fire TV compatibility.
