WiFi 6 2.4 Ghz or 5.0?
I've gone through all the data available for my new Hub & Wi-Fi 6 but I can't see how to tell if it's 2.4 Ghz or 5.0 Ghz or both. I'd like to add a couple of wi-fi outlets but they say they operate o...

I’ve got the new Network Hub but I’ve been trying to install a couple of wi-fi plugs that Telus list as “compatible” but they won’t connect. Had a tech tell me unless your system is 2.4 they probably won’t work. As a matter of fact, I read the literature on a plug for another system and it says that if it doesn’t connect the chances are your system isn’t 2.4.
Love the new wi-fi 6 but this wasn’t a problem I was anticipating.

Sorry, Hope this fixes the copy & paste post(s). I was replying from the link in the e-mail notification I received, NOT from the reply prompt on the website. Lesson learned.🙄
Update, I signed into my Wi-Fi 6 (Technicolor Egyptian Blue) and the page I was presented with showed the option to enable SmartHomexxxx(2.4GHz) or SmartHomexxxx(5GHz). I enabled 2.4GHz and used the password it provided. Now when I select Wi-Fi on my device (Mac, iPad, iPhone it shows 2 Networks. I can only select 1 Network at a time so I'm hoping while I'm using the 5GHz Network (much faster) the Smart Devices are able to use the 2.4GH Network in the background. Not sure how that works.🤔🤔
Regardless, thanks for any and all assistance.
- dg,
That might be the solution but I'll wait for the next time I have a Telus Tech to the house. I'm quite sure that if I start changing settings, I'll end up with no internet, no TV and end up on the phone with Telus for days. It's happened before and I get angry just thinking about it.
Thanks for the advice,
