Upstairs access point has green 5G & PWR. 2.4G is now orange. Also only one available wifi network still.

Hi @ssgrandam 

Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response and the update.

Could you please let me know if you have moved the cables to other 12 ports?

 

Here is the meaning of each light on the Wireless Access Point so you can use it as reference.

Yellows light 2.4G: The radio is up, no clients are connected to the 2.4 GHz radio.
Yellows light 5G: Radio is up, no clients are connected to the 5 GHz radio.

So, if there is a device (iPhone) that is using the 5G radio, the light on the Access Point will be turning green on the 5G radio indicating that there is a client/device using that radio (5G)

More details for the radio 2.4G and 5G

A 2.4 GHz connection travels farther at lower speeds, while 5 GHz frequencies provide faster speeds at shorter ranges. That depends on whether to use 5g or 2.4G will depend on the end device (such as phones/pc/ring door/Mac devices/iPhone) They choose whether to use 2.4g or 5g auto. It will also depend on the network (Wi-Fi / SSID / WLAN) configuration if it is 2.4 or 5G only.

A lot of electronic devices and appliances use the 2.4 GHz frequency, including microwaves, baby monitors, security cameras, garage door openers, and phones.

Please let me know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
