Adding a different router to my Sky Router

[paddy42]

Ok, I've just got a robot vacuum cleaner. Only works on 2.4 GHz. My Sky Router only works on 5GHz. Can I add another router with 2.4GHz to my router, will my Sky B/B still work?

As I said in your previous thread, all current Sky Hub models broadcast the same SSID (network name) on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz simultaneously, and on the recent version these can no longer be unsynchronized.

If you want to have an entirely separate signal then the appropriate hardware is a Wireless Access Point rather than another router.

Unfortunately 2.4Ghz APs are now getting rather scarce, but it should be possible to have separate bands on 802.11n hardware.
