MelCloud and Weatherlink Devices

[#1]

Hi I have just signed up to PlusNet. Before I had full fibre my heating system using MelCloud and my weather station using Weatherlink both worked fine. But now the apps won't connect to the wifi. I have googled the issue and they will only connect to a 2.4Ghz connection. So I have disabled the 5Ghz connection but still can not connect. Other options include using extenders and connecting to a guest network or using a different router.

I am not very tech savvy and PlusNet weren't able to resolve the issues so I wonder if anyone here has come across this issue and found a solution. 

Many thanks, Simon

@SimonR1066 Welcome to the forums.I don't know either of those applications, but I  wonder if they are still trying to connect to your previous ISPs router? Do they have a factory reset option?

Hi John, thanks for the welcome. No neither have reset options. Both devices just have a pairing button that works with the WPS button but they don't want to connect to the wifi.

@SimonR1066 In that case, I'm stumped. Sorry I can't help any more - maybe someone else can?

See following to reset both devices. Once reset, reconnect as before.

Once reconnected you should be able to switch the 5 GHz band back on.
