Hub 2 and IOT devices

Recently I upgraded from Hub 1 to Hub 2 and since then I’m having serious connectivity problems with IOT devices. In order to ensure my devices connect 100% of the time I have to change the 2.4 G WiFi to mode 2 and fully disable 5G WiFi. Affected devices are Shelly sensors/switches, BroadLink WiFi sockets, RaspberryPI 3b, and Timemaster WiFi spurs. With Hub 1 everything was fine without any tweaking! I’m also surprised that you can’t have different SSIDs for 2.4/5G channels. This is very much a backward step to me!

Re: Hub 2 and IOT devices

Routers supplied by ISP are basic, to get the average customer up and running. You could obtain your own advanced router and use it in place of the hub2.
