Hi. I am wondering if the Deco X10 app has the capability of disabling the band-steering/smart connect features so that I can see both the 2.4 GHz and the GHz channels separately as I need to connect some devices on to the 2.4 GHz channel and some devices onto the 5GHz channel. Now, when both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels are enabled in the Deco app (where I select the "auto" channel selection), only a single SSID appears on my wifi.

My main problem is that some of my pheripheral devices like CCTVs (Xiomi ones) have both 2.4GHz and 5GHz connection capabilities but are recommended to be connected to the 2.4GHz channels instead of the 5 GHz ones. If I cannot disable the band steering/smart connect features I cannot manually add these devices on the recommended channels.
FYI, I am helping my relatives to set up their CCTVs and do not have the Deco X10 app installed on my android phone.

Can anyone help?

Thnaks in advance,

 

Regards

Thanks for the suggestion. I already found a setting in my relative's Deco X10 app that can actually select whether to connect to auto, 2.4GHz or 5 GHz channels. I just need to go into each cctv settings -->> Connection Preference -->> Preferred Wi-Fi Band where I can select either to use the auto or 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz mode.
