I am having trouble connecting my reefbreeders photon v2 to WiFi. I have done all the steps. I have turned off the 5ghz network on my WiFi so it is only 2.4ghz. I can get it to run through and set up the light. But when I go to set the schedule nothing comes on. If I go back to light settings it says please reconnect to WiFi. Is there a reason it keeps losing connection? I am lost on what to do? I have tried to redo the setup multiple times. Please help

Maybe reach out to reefbreeders and see if they can help out. I have three of the v2 photons but have never had any issues with wifi. My router is only 2.4 tho I'm nut sure they act differently on a dual band.

I have dual band (5/2.4) and 3 photon's, no issues.

I’m going to reach out to reef breeders if I can’t get it to work tonight. Did you have to pause the 5ghz to connect to the light?

I had to disable my 5ghz radio in the router when initially connecting the lights, but once they are connected and working I simply turned the 5ghz back on and they stay connected.
