Hi,
Ive just set up wifi mesh using the deco M5.
Everything is connected apart from all my smart home devices.
They run on 2.4ghz so I turned off the 5ghz but still they will not connect.
Is this becasue there is only one shared signal sending out both 2.4ghz and 5ghz and not 2 separate signals?
Is there a work round?
One solution I read was to install a separate 2.4ghz router to connect the smart devices.
How do I do this and will is cause issues if my alexa's are on the 5ghx mesh and the smart devices on the 2.4ghz router. Will they be able to 'talk' to each other
Is there another product better suited to the whole set up
Thanks

Hi, what are the model number for your smart home devices?
And would there be any error message when they failed to connect?
If possible, please try to turn off the fast roaming, beamforming on the Deco APP to have a look;
Thank you very much.

@Davidstockle if you don't mind you could only have 2.4ghz switched on for the guest WiFi network and use that network for your smart devices. That works for me.
