Hi! Strange question. I keep having strange lockups with my Pi once I move it outside where it will live. Is there a way to force the Pi to 2.4G only? I have Google Nest and there are NO separate names for the 2.4 and 5 bands. Hoping there's some software way to force it. Mine is the top one, and it's full strength, but still. It's 20' away and I know 5G can be flaky. Attachments:

this might be helpful
I ended up putting a mesh transponder just inside from the weather station, but it's still a bit flaky at 5ghz.

Maybe I'll go to hardwired.......
I want to eliminate that for the crashes before seeing if it's temperature.

yeah the scan_freq and freq_list don't seem to work on the pi unfortunately
tried setting them but still connects to 5ghz. |

Tecronin,
Many routers allow you to change the name of the 2.4GHz link to another SSID. Then you can choose.

I have a POE hat on mine so hardwire is preferred. If you are running a cable to it you might as well run just one and get network and power.

We use POE on a lot of different robotics projects. Great idea if you already have an ethernet cable. POE will supply lots of power to the Pi from most switches.
