Set 2.4ghz on Deco X20 (Router mode) + Rename Satellites

2023-10-19 06:10:46 - last edited 2023-10-20 11:41:06

Model: Deco X20

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.1.4 Build 20230824 Rel. 63641

I've just set up a new X20 3 pack but my WiFi operated remote garage opener requires 2.4ghz only to connect.

I've Googled but have not found anything which works as there seems to be no way to edit or change any settings, either through the Deco app or logging in to 192.168.68.1.

I can see info such as below but no way to change.

The other thing is because the 2 satellites were automatically added they have names like Deco_3386. Is there any way to rename them without resetting and going through the add process and giving them room names to easily tell which is which? For most people that would be no problem but I have MND (ALS) so my poor, long suffering wife has to do it for me downstairs and upstairs.

Thanks in advance,

Gary

Hi, welcome to the community.

Though Deco uses the same SSID for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, the 2.4GHz-only smart devices are able to ignore the 5GHz and only connect to the 2.4GHz.

If it didn't, you are able to temporarily disable the 5GHz WiFi band under Deco APP>WiFi Settings>Advanced and connect the garage opener first.

And you could refer to this link to rename the satellite Deco per MAC address:

Thank you very much and best regards.

Awesome thank you David-TP.

I hadn't gone far enough with the band settings as when under Advanced/Band where it said 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz it looked like that was just telling me that was it with no option to change it. Silly me should have tried tapping on it.

With the renaming I hadn't realised that little symbol meant Edit/Change. Doh!

Thanks again.
