3. Go to Wireless Settings – Navigate to the 2.4GHz wireless settings.
4. Select the 2.4GHz Network – Ensure the 2.4GHz wireless option is enabled.
5. Change the Wireless Channel – Set the channel to 1, 6, or 11 to reduce interference.
6. Connect Your Device – On your device, find the 2.4GHz SSID and enter the correct password.
