How do I split Wifi

[Mslucy09]

I need to split off  2.4ghz.  Where do I do that?

On your router page, you can go to the primary network Wifi page, and then change the name of the 2.4GHz to a different network, and then they will be split. I believe that's what you are asking.

I need to split the 5.   My doorbell will not connect to anything bigger than 2.4.

(I just posted this same comment on another question, but it's the same thing you're looking at so I'm re-posting it here!)

Here's what I just worked out using some comments from Verizon I found on this forum. I can't vouch for anything, but it's the best I can put together!

1. In your web browser, go to the Network Settings URL using the password printed on the bottom of your modem.
2. I got a scary Not Secure warning but I went ahead anyway!
3. Go to the Advanced tab
4. Click on Wi-Fi
5. Click on IoT Network
6. Click on Wi-Fi Enable

That should activate a new separate 2.4 ghz network. I hope this works for you! And me too, I haven't tried to connect to it yet....
