We will spare you the technical details. The only important thing to understand is that there are two types of Wi-FI
networks. 2.4 GHz networks and 5.0 GHz networks.
All Wi-Fi routers have a 2.4 GHz network. However, newer routers can also have a 5.0 GHz network. They have both.
Unfortunately, Somnox 2 is not compatible with 5.0 GHz networks.
How do you know whether you have a 2.4 or 5.0 GHz network?
The easiest way to check this is to go to the Wi-Fi settings on your phone and scan for available Wi-Fi networks. Do
you have two Wi-Fi networks that belong to your home, but you only have one router? In that case, you likely have a
newer router that has a 5.0 GHz and a 2.4 GHz network.
If you only have a single network that belongs to your home, then it’s likely that it is a 2.4 GHz network. You can then
proceed without any problems.
In case you have two networks, the name of the Wi-Fi network typically indicates whether it is 5.0 GHz or 2.4 GHz. A
2.4 GHz network typically includes a 2.4G, 24G, 24 or 2 in its name. A 5.0 GHz network typically includes a 5.0G, 5G
or 5 in its name. For example:
YourRouterName_5.0G_WiFI
YourRouterName_2.4G_WiFI
YourWiFI_5G
YourWiFI_24G
YourNetwork5
YourNetwork2
