Connecting Blink camera to Router

I have a Blink camera which won't connect to my network, and the Blink help desk has told me my rouer has two networks 5.8GHz and 2.4GHz. Unfortunately I am connected to the 5.8GHz network and the camera will only connect to the 2.4GHz network. Blink have advised me to rename either of the networks so that I know I'm connected to the 2.4GHz network.

 

I have no idea how to do this, any suggestions would be gratefully received.

 

Many thanks

You will need to seperate the wifi bands

 

- Log onto router and go to wifi
- Go to 5ghz band and untick synchronise 2.4ghz and 5ghz
- Go to 5ghz ssid and add -5g at the end
- Save
- Go to individual devices and assign wifi band accordingly
