Is there a way to force iphone 5 to 2.4ghz? Upgraded my wifi router to a Orbi RBK22 with 2.4 and 5. I have a wifi camera that only uses 2.4. To set up the camera on the new router, the iphone with the camera setup app, must both be on 2.4. Problem is the Orbi auto uses 5 if the device (iphone in this case) is capable. There is no way to set up a 2.4 ssid and a 5 ssid in the Orbi where one can select the particular channel and stay on that channel. So one approach is to have my iphone 5 on 2.4.

Is there a way?
In iOS there is no option to force selecting 2.4Ghz wifi network.

If you have the possibility to change the SSID on the router to set two SSID like :


Wifi_24
Wifi_5


You'll be able to choose which network use and then configure your camera on the 2.4GHz Wifi.
