The Wyze cam setup defaults to your phones SSID no matter which band it’s using. It doesn’t seem smart enough to always choose 2.4 Ghz.

It definitely does default to your phone’s network, but you just edit the name to the 2.4 GHz network and continue.

We’re going in circles.🙂  
My original comment was based on both 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz neeorks having the same name (SSID).

Yes, to which I originally replied I can’t think of a reason the phone ever has to actually be on the 2.4 GHz network, whether the SSIDs are the same or not. This circular series of responses is only going to confuse people about the subject.

I guess I can’t explain the problem well enough.  
No big deal.
