Plusnet Hub Two DSL

Steveo100 · ‎28-01-2022

Could someone give me some advice please. The hub has been perfect for a couple of years. I have noticed my phone when connected to my home hub, shows 5GHz. When I initially set the hub up, I switched off the 5GHz setting. When checked, it still is in the off position. Problem is I need an item connected to 2.4GHz and assuming it won't connect because of the unavailable 2.4GHz. I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Please let me know if further info is required.....Tia

@Steveo100 Can you post a screenshot of this page from your Hub. If you have turned off the 5Ghz but ca still use the router, then the 2.4Ghz band is still active.

Thanks for your reply. Yes can still use the hub, but why would my phone show 5GHz ? I have a screen shot , but how to upload it ?

Which phone is it, and where is it showing 5Ghz?

To upload the screenshot, a question - are you using a desktop/laptop or a mobile device?

That was not the page I asked for, but it clearly shows the 5Ghz band is 'off'.

To save a lot of toing-and-froing - your 'item' will connect to your Hub , on the 2.4Ghz band.

@Steveo100

Looking at the screen shot you shared, it shows two ethernet devices, it does not show any wireless device connected to the Hub Two, do you have a wireless access point any where?

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have a tp link 8f3c...av 600 which serves a TV, and a nova mesh system.

So if your phone (or any other device) is seeing a 5GHz SSID then that must be from the other devices … as the router management screen clearly shows that the Hub Two 5GHz SSID is turned off.

and a nova mesh system

@Steveo100 so its likely that your phone is connected wirelessly to that on the 5ghz band ?

With only two ethernet devices being connected to the Hub Two suggests the MESH is working as a router, which results in double NAT.

Why do I say this; the Hub Two will only show connected device it which are on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, devices which are connected to the mesh will not as the are hidden behind the Mesh WAN address which will be it's IP Address on the Hub's network.
