Control Hub Operating System Changelog
When updating from OS 1.1.1 or earlier to OS 1.1.2 or later, the Control Hub will switch to the 5 GHz band, regardless of the previous Wi-Fi band setting. Some devices do not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi, and will not be able to connect to the Control Hub wirelessly while it is using the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. To switch to the 2.4 GHz band without needing a computer, see the Changing Wi-Fi Band section.
