Hi!

 

I have a Arris SB6190 cable modem and I use Google Mesh Network.  I have a new device that requires 2.4ghz.  How can I “split” the 2.4 and 5ghz signals so that my device would stay connected on the 2.4ghz signal?

 

Please advise, I look forward to hearing from you soon!  Thanks!

The SB6190 is a modem only device. It has zero wireless capability. 

You can ask google about how to do that on their mesh product.


Thanks!  I’ll contact Google for assistance with this.


Hi Everyone!

 

Thanks to plemans’s response, that helped me find the solution without needing to contact Google.  I did some quick researching and learned that Google’s Nest WiFi does not allow you to split bands. You can often get around this issue by creating a guest network, which only operates on the 2.4-GHz band.

So, with that information, I created a guest network and was able to operate the devices using the 2.4-Ghz band.  Problem solved!

Thanks to everyone!  :-)
