I've not been with Plusnet very long. Just a matter of months.
I've been using my own TP Link router and every now and again, it keeps losing connection on the 2.4ghz. I'm not sure if it's the router or something more technical, so to try and eliminate some problems, I have set up the Plusnet Hub2 that I've received.
I have noticed that it's not possible to set up different 2.4 and 5ghz settings which is a little bit frustrating.
I'm currently trying to set up all my home products again and I have a couple of issues because I have some items that can only be set up using the 2.4ghz.
My phone is automatically connecting to 5ghz which is obviously no good for me at the moment.
So, is it possible to force a device to connect to 2.4ghz?
I know that I can turn 5ghz off, but I'd still like to know if I can force a device to a particular connection.

I have read that if you turn the 5GHz band, connect everything on that band then start the 5GHz band then that helps with some devices.
Another approach is this, see the first two posts here. https://community.plus.net/t5/Tech-Help-Software-Hardware-etc/Separate-Bands-with-a-Smarthub-2-or-Pl...

Very true but some people might have an extender kicking around from the days when hub wireless performance was dire.
