Creating separate 2.4 and 5 ghz wifi networks using Wifi Hub?
Is it possible to create two separate networks using the newer white Telus Wifi Hub? I was able to do this with my old T3200M. I can turn them on and off individually but I don't seem to be able to ...
No, the Wi-Fi hub does not have the means to separate the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies, unfortunately. One work around might be to purchase a router which can be set up in Access Point mode to accommodate your 2.4 GHz devices, or possibly consider updating your smart devices.

Thanks I was worried about that when I didn't find it.
Do you think I should disable the 2.4 on the Hub? Would it crowd the bandwidth to have two 2.4 ghz networks in the same space?
It would be many hundreds of dollars to upgrade the smart devices. Thermostat, Garage Door Opener, Irrigation controller, Door locks, switches and plugs. All work on 2.4 ghz exclusively. Not all seem to have issues though. I assume its so they can be further away from the modem.
