it requires 2.4 instead of 5G and I've gone in and I cannot find a way to not make it a mixed broadcast. Because I even set it up as a, let's see, I don't know the model off the top of my head. MR8300. I went in from our computer, not from my phone.
01:00
Speaker 2
Ah? What's the model of your router? Um mra 300. You mentioned that you've entered the settings on the router. What device did you use to enter the settings? Computer.
01:00
Speaker 1
And I could not find, could not find how to change, to change even any setting in there from off of mix to a 2.4 or a 5 gigabyte and. Well, I was in the Wi-Fi. I'm not on it right now, I'm just calling you to see if this model is capable of doing that. Is it capable of, you know,
02:00
Speaker 2
Thank you so much. Um, Mhm. Have you tried? I'm sorry. Are you already on the WiFi settings? [silence] I see. Yes. Your MR your MR8300 is capable of separating your SSIDs. If you want a specific 2.4 and 5 gigahertz, it's capable of doing it. So, all you have to do is just go to your Wi-Fi settings. If your Wi-Fi settings only shows you one Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password, there is an option below it.
02:00
Speaker 1
like, you know, on, uh, like the guest network? Or am I changing it? Right, but I forgot, for streaming and everything else, I want the 5G. So, is there a way to have 2.4 and 5G on there simultaneously? Because I've read information that you can set up your guest Wi-Fi just to 2.4. But I can't, when I go to the drop-down window, I can't do that.
03:00
Speaker 2
Show more. You need to click that show more option so that it can show you the 2.4 and the 5 gigahertz. And from there, you can then personalize either the 2.4 or the 5 gigahertz so that they can be separated and become an individual connection instead. Guest network is different from 2.4 and 5.0. Yes, by default. No, uh, guest network guest network does not [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So I'm, I may be misunderstanding you. I cannot have stuff on 5G and and stuff on 2.4 together separately. I have to have it's either one or the other. [silence] Okay.
04:00
Speaker 2
Have any function to separate either two point four and five gigahertz Because it's a completely different set of network, which is separate from your original or main internet connection. [silence] By default, [silence] [silence] No. Uh, once again, Guest Network by default uses two point four only. If you want to have a specific two point four and five gigahertz, you can also do it on your router just by going on Wi-Fi settings and changing the Wi-Fi name on either two point four or five gigahertz.
04:00
Speaker 1
go to Wi-Fi settings change the name because if I show all Okay. And I've tried that. I've tried changing the name to a different name. You know, rename the guest at a different name and then Okay. So I just have to find the one that says guest and if I change that to a different name, there's a drop-down window off to the right, correct? Okay. And and when I click on that,
05:00
Speaker 2
Yes. You can have the same password, uh you can have the same password but they must have different names. No, a guest network is completely different from your main Wi-Fi network. 2.4. Yes, that is correct.
05:00
Speaker 1
The only choice it gives me is mixed. It does not give me any options. Okay. All right, I will go try this. And if I got problems, I may have to call back. All right, thank you. No, I'm just trying to get this software so I can get the vacuum cleaner set up. And it requires 2.4G and I cannot get our Wi-Fi to [CRY]
06:00
Speaker 2
Network mode is different. Network mode is how the, how the Wi-Fi functions properly. So you don't need to change that. You don't need to alter it or anything. You just need to focus on Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password only. no worries there. We're always available to try to assist you in every way. All right. Is there anything else? All right.
06:00
Speaker 1
or transmit 2.4 only. So I'll go do some more looking and see if I can get that to happen. Yep. You too. Bye. [silence]
07:00
Speaker 2
I see. All right. Thank you so much for calling Linksys. Take care and have a great day. Bye-bye for now.
