Some ISP provided routers such as Bell Canada FIBE, the BT Home Hub 4 and BT Home Hub 5 have the ability to Band Span. This means they are able to provide a single unified SSID or Network Name for both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequency band of your home network. Band spanning is also sometimes called band steering.
This setting will need to be disabled to ensure all Bluesound Players reliably appear in the Player Selection Drawer in the App every time.
