iPhone 16 Pro Max not recognizing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi on iOS 18.2

Recently purchased 16 Pro Max and on IOS 18.2. Trying to connect to my 2.4ghz WiFi, but phone only recognizing 5ghz. I reset the modem and “forgotten” both 5g and 2.4g. Relogged into both 5g and 2.4g, but phone never shows option to switch from 5 to 2.4. Any resolution or fixes?

It is possible that the router is not broadcasting the 2.4 GHz SSID. To ensure you can select the appropriate SSID, you should check this directly on your iPhone. If you find that the 2.4 GHz option is unavailable, it may be necessary to contact the agency that installed your router for further assistance.


Please note that you can only choose between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies if both are being broadcast by your router or modem.
