Combination mode

If router has only one wifi and supports working with frequency of 2.4G and 5G at the same time, devices will connect to the working frequency automatically.

If your camera is connected through QR code or AP hotspot, you can add camera directly and not need to distinguish that the wifi frequency is 2.4g or 5G.

Camera may not be connected if it is connected in other ways. It is suggested to change the wifi mode of your router.

Separation mode

Router has two wifi, 2.4G or 5G, for example, “YourWifi” and “YourWifi_5G”. Then you need to find correct wifi with frequency of 2.4G to connect camera.
