NAH with Boost 6 and Boost 6 lite 2.4G tips

Had some great help from Telus support with the above mesh configuration and 2.4G devices being dead slow or just not connecting. If you use only the bridged 3 channel (2.4, 5 low, 5 high) with a lot of connected 2.4 devices it will choke the 2.4 device access. The 5G connections are bridged to your 2.4 connects and 2.4 takes the hit even if they are connected to 2.4 SmartHome XXXX 2.4. Fix was to turn on SmartHome XXXX 5G as it not bridged to the 2,4 and therefore does not degrade the 2.4. You have to admin into Boost 6 and enable SmartHome XXXX 5G. It is the same logon password as SmartHome XXXX and cannot be modified. Connect all devices to SmartHome XXXX 5G and known 2.4 only devices to SmartHone XXXX. Results in no 5G devices interfering with performance of the 2.4 connections. This fixed all my 2.4 device connection issues. Brilliant solution.

    FYI access to Boost 6 is from a browser: 192.168.1.41 / admin / password on the sticker on the side of the boost when you remove the bottom access cover.
