Oldav8tor Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Newbie here. I just received my kit three days ago (3/28/2023). In setting up my Starlink I've run into a problem. According to what I've read I should be able to go into "Settings" on the APP and split the wifi signal between the 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ bands. I see nothing in "Settings" that would allow me to do this. Am I missing something? Note: The APP says it will be gathering obstruction data for a few hours yet an the NETWORKS tab is greyed out. Currently I just have the Starlink router connected to the antenna and plugged into wall power ---nothing else.

Oldav8tor Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 I have more to add. I experimented a bit trying to get all my devices connected to the Starlink. Knowing that my security camera was 2.4 GHZ I decided to try it anyway. The result? It's on the Starlink network! Maybe the latest version of the router automatically uses both wifi bands without having to be selected. If that is the case then the setup information needs updating.

jeepers22 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I am having exactly the same issue. I have to use the 2.4g network to set up a security camera but it has defaulted to 5G. I see no place where I can split the signal between the two! Please can someone help??? Thanks.

RicochetStarlink Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Open the mobile app, tap on Settings, tape on your WiFi network name. At the bottom you should see 'Split 2.4 / 5 GHz Networks' with an on/off switch to the right. Turn the switch on and name your 2.4GHz network. It can't have the same name as your 5GHz network.
