Will SS system connect to the Verizon 5G internet connection?

Hi @efkurtz63, 

The SimpliSafe system requires 2.4GHz Wi-Fi to work. However, all routers that support 5GHz also have 2.4GHz. If you separate the two networks, or have a separate guest network that broadcasts only at 2.4GHz, your system will connect.

@vincentrussell​ we would recommend that you reach out to Verizon for steps on how to do the following:

  • Make sure that your network is set up for WPA3 Mixed Mode encryption, or WPA2
  • Make sure that 2.4GHz is enabled on your network
  • Create a guest network that is broadcasting on 2.4GHz only

I cannot find a way to do that on an eero router with Frontier.

@waynes​ I recommend contacting Frontier regarding the specific steps to create a guest network with their router, as their process may be different than other providers.
