Will this plug work with a dual band router? Most smart plugs only work on a dedicated 2.4ghz router. I can’t get my old smart plugs to work on my new dual band router. null

I had the same problem with an older smart plug I had been using successfully with an Asus dual band router. I had upgraded my WiFi to a Google Nest mesh network and the old one wouldn't work anymore. But the Kasa plugs work great with my Google network, no problem at all. The Nest is supposed to be dual band but there isn't a separate setup for the 2 bands like in most routers. So I think it'll work okay, at least it did for me.

I would recommend:

Google - Nest Wifi - Mesh Router (AC2200) - Snow

Amazon smart plugs work, also most expensive. Kasa does NOT work unless you create two separate 2.4 and 5g accounts.
Lurton same thing.
