I have some smart plugs that will only operate on the 2.4ghz bandwidth.
Will they work with this router?
I have 12 of them and it would be expensive to replace them all and the router null

This is a tri-band router meaning it has one 2.4ghz band and two 5ghz bands. Since your smart plugs are 2.4ghz, they will compete with each other and other 2.4ghz devices for a channel on that frequency. Only channels 1, 6 and 11 don’t overlap other channels. This will happen with any wireless router until, one-by-one, you upgrade them.
