2.4ghz & 5ghz intelligent pods

Hi I have a Hub 5 and am looking to split my signals to 2.4ghz & 5ghz. 

My question is that I am using intelligent pods and if I split my connections to 2.4 & 5ghz will the intelligent pods still work as intended?

Thanks

jay

      Hi Jbrennan

      thanks, so I am to assume if I split the signal the pods will be useless unless I keep it as combined SSID as you mention

        Hi mistryjayesh, thank you for your posts. 

        There are a few requirements for WiFi Pods to work with our Hubs:

        •    The Hub must be in "Router mode" and not have been changed to "Modem mode"

        •    Channel optimisation must be left on

        •    The SSIDs must be the same and broadcast enabled

        •    The SSID must be password protected

        •    The passphrases of the SSIDs must match

        As long as all of the above points are all met, then the Pods should automatically connect to your Hub's Wi-Fi and begin broadcasting.

        If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us.

        Thank you for your support jbrennand and legacy1 👍

        Regards,
        Daniel
