Black WiFi pod not connecting after changing WiFi to split 2.4 / 5

Hi all

I had to split the WiFi frequencies as our solar panels control panel will only work on 2.4ghz 

I kept the 5ghz WiFi name and password the same as named the 2.4 separately - but with the same password.

This has knocked out our black WiFi extender pod - and now is just flashing white. I've tried turning everything off / on again, etc

Is there an easy fix?

    For VM Pods to work expect to have to comply with : 

    1. The Hub is in 'Router Mode'
    2. Wireless Channel Optimisation is Enabled
    3. The 2.4 & 5 GHz bands have the same SSID
    4. SSID broadcast is Enabled on both bands
    5. Both SSID are protected with the same password.
    6. Auto Channels are Enabled on both bands
    7. The VM Hub’s DHCP server is Enabled
    8. Only VM can pair VM Pods to a Hub
    9. VM will need to re-pair VM Pods manually if a replacement Hub is supplied
