Setting up 2.4ghz for smart plugs

Meatballs_100 — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 18:55:21 GMT

Hello all

I have just set up my full fibre however I now need my smart plugs to work and they only work on 2.4ghz. I can't see where to split the 2.4 and 5 and wondered who can help please? the plugs are not picking up the wifi while in the current mode.

Thanks in advance.

You can't split the frequencies if the PN router. one of its downfalls.. I think you can turn off 5ghs, then connect your slower items, then turn it back on again.

@Meatballs_100 You need to temporarily disable the 5ghz channel whilst setting up the smart plugs - see attached image - and then re-enable it once they are working.

Thank you. I thought that might be the case. I will do them all at the weekend.
