2.4GHz vs 5GHz Wi-Fi for AUSLOCK Gateway (Fix G2 Connection Issues)

My Wi-Fi is 5GHz Only — How Do I Connect the AUSLOCK Gateway?

Most smart lock Wi-Fi gateways/bridges require 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. If your router is “5GHz only”, the gateway usually won’t connect until 2.4GHz is enabled.


Fast solutions (choose one)

  1. Enable 2.4GHz on your router (recommended).
  2. Create a separate 2.4GHz network name (SSID), e.g. HomeWiFi-2.4.
  3. Use a dedicated 2.4GHz guest network if your router supports it.

Setup checklist (avoid common issues)

  • Keep the gateway close to the router during pairing.
  • Use the correct Wi-Fi password (watch spaces/special characters).
  • After pairing, move the gateway closer to the lock for best performance.

Troubleshooting

  • Won’t connect: temporarily disable “Smart Connect” / band steering and try again.
  • Drops out: move the gateway away from metal cabinets and closer to the router.
