Hi, I'm having an issue with my router and I'm somewhat tech savvy and I've been into my router a few times looking for things. I cannot seem to find the on and off buttons to turn my 5g off. They just don't appear the 2.4 or the 5g.

Um, when I get X, hold on a second, please. When I access my row, I'm sorry, let's try this again. Okay, now I got my throat's clear. Uh, when I go into my router uh, router settings and I go under Wi-Fi settings and the panel comes up. In the past, there has been on and off buttons for the 2.4 gig and the 5 gig band. They do not exist now. I don't know where they went.
04:00
Speaker 2
Network router interface.
04:00
Speaker 1
Yes, that's correct. That's correct. Plus, it also has the security mode, the Wi-Fi mode, which is mixed for both. The security mode is WPA2 personal, of course. But it used to be above the Wi-Fi mode. There used to be a button that I could toggle on and off for each band and they're not there anymore. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, so you only see under the Wi-Fi settings, your 2.4 gigahertz band and five gigahertz band, and so on their Wi-Fi name and password, is that right? Uh-huh. [silence] right. Let's check on that first, Mike, because I'm also checking. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
Uh, I know how do I, he, a turn off the five-gig band when I have a 2.4 peripheral that I have to match up, but I can't have the five-gig band on while I do it. I've done this before with this router, but for some reason the buttons ain't there. Uh, yeah. I, I agree with you. They're not there, but they were there before. They were there when I first put this router in. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
right, right, that's, okay, right, that's, that's, yes, that's what I'm saying, uh, Indesert. Uh, all I can see here is the Wi-Fi name and password. Uh, there is no on and off button. So I'm gonna check first. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. So, uh, I put you on hold for two minutes. I check on my resources, okay.
06:00
Speaker 1
Yeah. Uh, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for.
10:00
Speaker 2
Hello Mike. Well I'm still looking on it and I think...oh...do you have a device management on your web interface? Do you have an option to select device management under the web interface? Is there a device management option?
10:00
Speaker 1
in the router settings here? Let me take a look. Hold on. I got status, diagnostic and logs. That's under troubleshooting. I'm not sure. Are you, if that's where you want me to look? Okay. I'm not sure of what.
11:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Um, on, under the router settings, connectivity, troubleshooting. Do you see that uh, options? Go back first to the front or to the homepage. and then on the front page, uh you will see all the router settings, like connectivity, or silver, or
11:00
Speaker 1
Yes, I see that. Yes. I don't have anything that says device management. No. I have device lists, guest access, parental controls, priority, speed check, external storage. Under router settings, I have connectivity, troubleshooting, Wi-Fi settings, and security.[silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
All right. Can you check above that, if you can see device management? Uh, when you go back on the dashboard, uh, you see your Wi-Fi name? [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
I'm not sure I'm seeing that, but let me look here. Under connectivity I got something. Guest access, parental controls, priority speed check, [silence] let's see. Troubleshooting Wi-Fi settings and security.
13:00
Speaker 2
in the home page if you go back to the very home page where you can see that your network is connected your network status is connected to internet okay what is the very front page of the road or web interface to see that your network status device please. Oh, where do you see the, yeah, where do you see the network status. You mentioned you said, uh, you mentioned about the network status, right?
13:00
Speaker 1
Oh, yes, yes. Yes, you're I'm sorry. That's correct. Yes. Yes, I do. Okay, it's working. Hold on. Okay. Got it and I got yes I did okay well look what's uh yes I got it now well I didn't realize it was that easy now can I leave this setting like this or will it go back when I sign out okay all right okay right right yes you did thank you very much I knew I knew it was there at one point [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
[silence] right. Now you select the Wi-Fi settings. [blank] [blank] Under the router setting, select Wi-Fi. [silence] Once you select Wi-Fi, it should pop up. [silence] is should. Usually, uh you have to when you log in to your router web interface, you have to make sure that you have to click the first CA link. or yes. So that you can see the other uh student features of the interface. So, uh I think that's good. You, we've solved your issue.
15:00
Speaker 1
I know you I have a peripheral. I have a water leak sensor for my basement and it's on 2.4 gigs, but I have to turn 5 gig off when I do the interface for it when I connect it. If I don't have 5G off turned off at the time, it won't work. So now I can turn the 5 off, connect to peripheral, and then go back in and turn 5 back on. That's what I was looking for.
16:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah. I also. Yes. Go on. No, go on. Yes. Okay, so I, it also took a long time for me to search on our system where we can find that, because I also knew that there is a toggle button, but it's a good thing that you gave me a minute to check on my resources and it's good that we're able to see now the toggle on and off.
16:00
Speaker 1
Yes. You did a wonderful job. Thank you. Everything's good. Everything's good. Right. Yup. Okay. Thank you again. Bye bye. [silence]
17:00
