Want to set 2.4Ghz only - but still providing 5Ghz

Hi

 

I'm trying to configure some Smart bulbs - but they're not registering properly.  The vendor is insistent on 2.4Ghz for the configuration stage.  I've set 2.4Ghz only for the network, but looking at the app graphs, I'm not seeing any 2.4Ghz traffic, only 5Ghz.  We've tried some diagnosis with RouteThisHelps, and it is showing that my phone is still connected on 5Ghz

 

Am I missing something?

Hello @Simon2 

 

Create a wireless-network for your bulbs only and set that to 2.4GHz band only.

It will also allow you to set other regulations for the bulb-network.

 

Your main wireless-network can run on Dual Band Operation or any other Radio Setting you prefer.

 

More info can be found here Meraki Go - WiFi Access Point Feature Details - Cisco Meraki and here Meraki Go - Creating and Deleting Wireless Networks - Cisco Meraki

 

Cheers
