I can’t seem to get my Beam (Gen 2) to connect to my wifi using 5GHz. Although the specs say it supports 5GHz that doesn’t seem to be the case (at least not for me).
If I disable the 2.4GHz band on my SSID the Beam won’t connect at all. Using both 2.4GHz and 5GHz will allow it to connect. But as can be seen from the network controller (below)… only using 2.4GHz.
But why?
What is the trick here?
As you can see my other Sonos speakers have no problem using 5GHz and the Beam is the newest of them all??!
The reason this annoys me is because the Beam is the ONLY device on my network that requires 2.4GHz. So if it worked as I was expecting I could disable the 2.4GHz all together.
Any good ideas as to how I can fix this? Or is it simply “not fixable”?
Thanks :-)
