Hi all, I have an LG V60 that I use as both a phone and for streaming Tidal. At home, my 2.4 and 5 GHz bands coexist, meaning they broadcast one SSID.

Apparently the LG V60 Verizon variant has problems with some 5 GHz connections and constantly disconnects. Not just Tidal, the phone just loses connection to WiFi.

Is there a way to force it to use the 2.4 only despite it not being broadcasted independently? WiFi Analyzer used to allow this but after the latest Android OS update, it doesn't work.

I can split the 2.4 and 5, but I have 50 smart devices that talk with each other, and it would be a pain to set them all back up.

Network is an Orbi mesh running V2.7.4.24. Any suggestions on an app or other workaround would be appreciated.
