How to connect Deco M3 Version 3 to smart home devices on 2.4ghz ?

Model: Deco M5

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version: 1.5.3 Build Rel. 68223

Hello,

I've just set up WiFi mesh using the deco M5. Everything is connected apart from all my smart home devices. These are Xiaomi home devices. They run on 2.4ghz.

I have both enabled in my Deco 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz with a single SSID.

Is there a way i can create two profiles (SSID) one witl just 2.4 ghz and the other for 5 ghz. ? This would allow me to get different signals. I dont want to install another router for this now.

Is there a work round? Any settings in the app ?

Thanks

@RohintonW

You can use Guest Network to have two SSID and split 2.4GHz/5GHz between them. It is how I configured my Deco mesh and this is how you can do it in Deco app, under WiFi Settings:
