Security camera won't connect to 5ghz gateway
I just switched to tmobile and my security camera now will not connect due to needing to be on 2.4ghz. Is the gateway capable of this? The company I switched from had the 2.4 and 5 option.

If the authentication of the camera demands WPA only creating a second SSID with WPA authentication in addition to the other SSID could solve the problem for you.
The concern with this suggestion is that the second SSID using a lower grade encryption is not on a DMZ or VLan. This means if a bad actor were to compromise that second SSID, they would have access to every single device on your network. This would easily be solved if TMO would just add a guest network feature on their their gateways.
I would also have major concerns with any “security” camera if it does not support the latest encryption standards.
