2.4ghz - connecting devices

Hi, Got a smart heating fan for my daughters bedroom. Set it all up and went to connect it to my new super hub but it's only 2.4ghz connection and the hub is 5ghz. Is there a way I can connect ...

VM hubs transmit both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz signals on a combined SSID. Some devices do not like this and refuse to work. If you do not have VM pods you can separate the bands into 2 SSIDs. Go into the settings on the hub and give the two SSIDs different names link xxx-2 and xxx-5. You can the connect the device to the xxx-2 SSID name. If you have VM pods is more lengthy, but come back if you need these instructions.

Hi, I would like those instructions please.

I have the pods so can't split my networks. But I have a smart TV which constantly disconnects and reconnects on the 5ghz network, so want to force it to connect to 2.4ghz only. Thanks.
