Well today I had an interesting problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those same SmartPlugs dropped off the network this afternoon. I logged onto the router and the first thing I noticed was that according to the router control panel, there was nothing attached to Band 1. I fired up my phone and did a network search and there was no Band 1 to be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent two hours on the chat to TalkTalk tech support and that was a painful experience and bunch of hours I&#8217;m never going to get back. Anyway. A few hours after the problem occurred, and idea occurred. That&#8217;s two occurrences!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went back into the router control panel and took a look at the WiFi Bands. The 2.4Ghz Band 1 name had reverted to the original and was hidden from my phone because the names were overlaid. And because the Band 1 name had reverted, the SmartPlugs fell off the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazing. But I got there in the end. I should have got there a lot quicker, but yes, eventually I sorted it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few months ago, over on the Geekblog, I rambled on about how I had to change the name of the 2.4Ghz Band on our<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stuff","two-columns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15454"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15454\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
