Wifi connectivity issue

[Mike+Atherton]

My solar panel wifi devices work at 4.8KHz. Can my Sky router accomodate this? Currently i cannot get them to connect

Are you sure? 4.8Khz would be very unusual because that's way outside regulated bands for domestic WiFi: it would be about right for ULF used by maritime radio

Sky Hubs broadcast the same SSID on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz: this can confuse some devices, and the typical solution is to unsyncronize the bands and then rename one or both.

So to split the two channels you need to go to your router config page which can be found by typing 192.168.0.1 into your web browser. To access the page, you'll need;

username: admin

password: sky OR your WiFi password

- Select wireless from the navigation bar and scroll down a little and untick the 'Synchronise 2.4GHz and 5GHz settings'

- Scroll to the bottom of the page and hit apply.

- Once the page reloads you need to go to the 5GHz wireless settings page on the sub navigation bar below where you click wireless before

- In the 5GHz section you want to go to the box called 'Name (SSID)' and add something like 5g to the end of the current name

- Scroll down and hit apply

- Then on any wireless device you should now see two networks. One network will be the same name as usual and will be 2.4GHz band and the other will be the usual name with 5G on the end (Or whatever you typed). Connect any 5GHz capable device to the 5GHz network and see if it works correctly. The WiFi password should be the same if you havent changed it.
