What is the point in having 2.4ghz and 5ghz, is it not possible to turn one off? What would be the benefit of doing that?
Essentially I am trying to get GeForceNow working and trying all options to reduce high packet loss.

I know you can turn it 2.4ghz on BT routers as I have that signal disabled.
Check the settings under the router

Got a NOW Broadband Hub Two? Splitting the bands on your Hub to create 2 different Wi-Fi networks can help to improve the speed to your devices. Here’s how to do it:

Thank you for these settings, I did change them but then changed them back, unfortunately for GeForceNow it made no difference and still complained too much packet loss. Strangly half way through I had to reboot the router it could connect back to the 192.168.0.1 page.

For the rationale behind splitting the bands, and what this does and doesn’t achieve, read:-

This won’t, though, as you have found, do much for your packet loss, where I would suspect a faulty router sending out malformed packets, something that the Broadband team should be able to diagnose.
