Split 2.4 and 5GHz wifi

[Milor9096]

How can I do this as my home automation relies on a dedicated 2.4 WiFi? Can't do it on MySky, can't do it on the router setting on the 192.168.0.1 either.

If you have a white Max Hub then unfortunately that's not a feature.

@Milor9096 if youbhavecthexwhite Sky hub thectwo bands cannot be split as that breaks WiFi6. The work round is to turn off the 5GHz band using the hub's advanced setiings in the My Sky app then connect any devices that wont connectvto the dualband signal. Then turn the 5GHz band back on and the devicesxshould stay connected.

I have the white hub and have managed to do this by renaming them, the 2.4 and 5 now show seperately

@Tommyg1986 Has your sky Max hub connected, onboarded for you yet and FW updated itself, you can do it all pre connection, once on the sky network then ssid back to single operation and no more changing!

Haha, no it's not as that was the reasons for my previous post, still not linked to the mysky app

[Tommyg1986]

@JimM1 its up and running, just not linked to mysky

@Tommyg1986 as and when it is connected to the app you will lose the ability to split the channels. .Of coursehaving made the split the hub can longer use WiFi 6 and falls baxk to WiFi5 speeds which may or may not matter to you. Also I suspect the hub wont receive formware updates if it isnt linked.
