Can no longer split 2.4 and 5 Ghz

I set up the hub with A at 5 Ghz, B at 2.4 Ghz and Guest at 2.4 Ghz

I have "lost" A and B is 2.4 and 5 Ghz

I can no longer find the option to split them. Has VM removed the option in the hub or have i just forgotten how to do it?

I had them split the other day and did nothing.

    VM don't want you to do this you should look at getting your own router with 1Gb ports and put hub in modem mode

    Hi Andyjenk3 

    Open a browser and log into your hub 192.168.0.1 - using the SSID and wifi settings password printed on a sticker on your hub (unless you've set up a different SSID and password.)

    Then navigate to the following settings

    Advanced Settings > Wireless > Wireless Signal > click on Disable Channel Optimization  at the bottom then  click on Apply Changes. 

    Now go to Advanced Settings > Wireless > Security >  then amend the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi Network Name (SSID) to whatever you want, and the apssword if you want to change that.  Then at the bottom click on Apply Changes. Then log out of the hub at the top of the page.

    You will need to reconnect all you Wi-Fi devices some will want to connect to 5Ghz and some to 2.4GHz and some will connect to either.
