Unable to connect Homey to new wifi network (NETGEAR ORBI)

  • Turn off 5ghz
  • Lower the power on 5ghz
  • Start a hotspot on a 2.4ghz phone with the same SSID and keep it very close to Homey
  • Turn on any old router with only 2.4ghz with the same SSID (and internet connection)

It’s just that Homey somehow can’t see the difference between 2.4ghz and 5ghz SSID. And with Orbi that is even worse, because it is a meshing system and there will always be a 5ghz satellite nearby.
Once Homey is connected via 2.4ghz and saved the network it should be fine.
