How to unsync 5Ghz on Hub Two

ChrisD1 — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 15:22:03 GMT

I've been digging around in the settings for Hub Two and I can't see any option to unsync the two bands so I can rename one. Where is the setting?

@ChrisD1 welcome to the forum.

It is not possible to split the wireless names on a Hub Two.

That's dissapointing. Do you know why it isn't? I had no problem doing it before on hub one

@ChrisD1 if youre having problems with connecting a 2.4ghz only device, then the trick that often works , is to temporarily disable the 5ghz on the Hub 2, connect the device , then re-enable the 5ghz

@ChrisD1 in an ideal world it should not be necessary to split the wireless names as the connecting device should be smart enough to sort out which is the best frequency to connect to.

Did you try renaming the Hub Two wireless as to the same name as the Hub One 2.4GHz wireless name as this would have negated the need to reconfigure any devices other than those using 5GHz only.

In my case the Hub Two I have has had no issues connecting any wireless device to it

yep I discovered the same thing on receiving the Hub 2. Needed it so my Hub 1 got plugged back in.
