Force Ring to stay on 2.4 ghz?
Anyone know of a way of setting the Ring 3 Plus to stay on 2.4 ghz. Because of distance I guess, it seems to like it better than 5ghz, but my xfinity router decides to change it back/fortth and xfinity doesn't give you different SSID's for each channel.

Hello,This was a very legitimate question (and I have the same issue).2.4Ghz could be much better on some circonstances (but this is nt the debate).2.4 vs 5 Ghz is/should be an option on the device sideYes you can force it by connecting to a 2.4 only wifi SSID but it's a (poor) workaround.How could it be possible to push this change/feature to a future firmware update ?Thank you,Fred

Because of distance I guess, it seems to like it better than 5ghz, but my xfinity router decides to change it back/forth and xfinity doesn't give you different SSID's for each channel.I'm hoping you already got your Ring 3 to stay on 2.4 GHz. Did you ever figure out a solution? Pity your Xfinity did not have two separate WiFi network names (two SSIDs) for each GHz. I was lucky that my Pace Router from AT&T does have two separate SSIDs. Originally, both my 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks had the exact same SSID name ("2WireXXX") and therefore it deceptively appeared as only a single Wi-Fi network. I just left the SSID name unchanged for the 2.4 GHz, and then I changed the name for the 5 GHz to "2WireXXX 5G." I left the two identical passwords to both unchanged. Now, both individual networks show during Wi-Fi scans.Then Wi-Fi devices I only wanted to use 2.4 GHz, I only logged those onto "2WireXXX." And those I only wanted to use the 5 GHz, those I logged onto the "2WireXXX 5G."My Ring Video devices are all using 2.4 GHz, but they often lost the competing battle (no Live View, Black screens, connection issues, etc.) for high-data-streaming with my other Wi-Fi devices. All my 5 GHz capable devices I logged only onto "2WireXXX 5G" network, thus reducing the competition for the Ring. I know you wanted to do this with your setup. From what I can tell, some Xfinity routers do have Network 1 SSID and a Network 2 SSID for each.[https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/wifi-change-admin-tool](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/wifi-change-admin-tool)I'm very curious as to how did you solve your issue? ;)
