Re: Connecting smart lamps to wifi
@Juddy7857 yiu cannot split the two wifi bands on a Sky Max hub as doing so would break its WiFi6 capability. Instead the recommended process is to find tge hub's advancdd settings in the My Sky app and temporarily turn off tge 5GHz band then when the hub has fully restarted connect your smart bulbs. Once connected go back intomthe app and restart the 5GHz band and the bulbs should stay connected
If tgey dont and there are some pretty poor bulbs out there consider buting a cheap 2.4GHz WiFi access point connect thst by ethernet to the Sky hub and use thst for IOT kit. Should cost around £20.
65inch Sky Glass, 3 Sky Streaming Pucks, Sky Ultrafast + and Sky SR213(white Wifi Max hub) main Wifi from 3 TP-Link Deco M4 units in access point mode
