If the sidds are the same, how do i know what im on?

Question

Hi all,i just got a black wifi pod, and when plugged in, i could no longer see a 2.4 or 5g network. From what i think iv read is that the hub "melds" them together then automatically connects you to one. But when i try to install say a wifi security camera which only uses 2.4, i cant get it to install because im thinking the "meld" is using 5g. (so the phone app needs to be on the same network that your trying to connect the camera to (2.4g), but what if the phone is connected to 5g?). Am i right, or have i missed something, because when i did use the pod, there were things i couldnt connect? I have for now taken the pod out and redone my original settings, and had to reset about 20 cameras and Alexas ect....not fun. Thx

If you need this granularity get your own WIFI kit. &nbsp;The management around the VM kit is poor.&nbsp;

You can access the HUB on 192.168.0.1&nbsp;and check the 'Connected Devices' section to see which band each device is connected to.You can also split the SSID into two, one for each band, so you can decide which one to connect to for each device:You must disable 'Smart WiFi' first, though:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ah ok, so that means that the pod will work, plus i still have the option to connect to both channels right? (just checking, because other forums have said that is not possible) Thx again

Pods will probably stop working.
