Re: How to connect my andraoid phone to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi of T-Moblie Gateway?

Even though you lowered the transmission mode of the 2.4GHz band, it is still sharing the same WiFi broadcast name as the 5GHz band. Two separate options: Rename the SSID1 name, so it doesn't share the same broadcast name as the 5GHz band, or ... Select SSID2, enable it, and name it differently from the 5GHz band. This will create an additional accessible 2.4GHz band. You mayhave to lower the transmission and/or encryption protocols for SSID2. Dear Tomwil, Is there a simple way to temporarily disable the 5GHz signal without modifying the name of the Wi-Fi network for 2.4GHz, and only keep the 2.4GHz signal? This is because I want to set up a device that only supports 2.4GHz through a mobile phone, but then revert the network back to its original 5GHz/2.4GHz state after the device is set up. Thank you in advance for your kind reply.1Ver0likes0ComentariosRe: How to connect my andraoid phone to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi of T-Moblie Gateway?
Tonwli, Thank you very much for your patient guidance. Following your instructions, I changed the Transmission Mode of the 2.4GHz network from Auto (ax/g) to n/g and saved the changes (see attached screenshot). However, I amstill unble to seea separate Wi-Fi connection on my mobile phone or computer. It still appears as a 2.4G/5G connection (see attached).

Tomwil, Thank you so much for your response! However, I would appreciate it if you could provide more detailed instructions on how to split the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Specifically, can you explain how to access the page you mentioned in your previous message? A step-by-step guide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again!3Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: How to connect my andraoid phone to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi of T-Moblie Gateway?

As mentioned above, I'm not using a regular router or modem, but rather, I'm using T-Mobile Gateway. Unlike most dual-band routers that come with separate signals for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, although the T-Mobile Gateway supports both 2.4 G and 5 G bands, but it always connects to the Wi-Fi automatically without providing an option to select a specific band when I connectmy mobile phone or computer to it. I don't knowwhetheryou've used or are currently using the T-MobileGateway. If you have and like toshare your experience on how to connect a mobile phone to the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, it will be appreciated!4Visto0likes0ComentariosHow to connect my andraoid phone to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi of T-Moblie Gateway?
I am using a T-Mobile Gateway as my home Wi-Fi network instead of a regular router. Recently, I tried to connect a smart device (a Wi-Fi dimmer switch) to the network using the Smart Life app. However, this device only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, not 5 GHz. I understand that the T-Mobile Gateway is a dual-band and supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, but I cannot find an option to select either of these frequencies exclusively. The auto-connection feature sometimes shows 5G and sometimes shows 2.4G/5G but never displays 2.4G alone (please refer to the attached screenshot). When I attempt to set up the device via the Smart Life app on my smartphone, it always displays the message "Your mobile phone is connected to 5 GHz Wi-Fi. If the device does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi, please change to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi" even though the connection of my andriod phone was showing 2.4G/5G. How can I connect to the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi instead of the 5 GHz Wi-Fi in this case?Solved973Visto0likes14Comentarios
