Connecting to Hue Bridge for Homekit This problem is a cross-platform issue, I've found that the guru's on here tend to provide the best support. I'm trying to connect a Philips Hue bridge to my Homekit. Every time I type in the code on the back of the device, it errors and says, "unable to add accessory, the setup code is incorrect.". It doesn't matter if its on my iPad Air II or iPhone 12 Pro Max. I am totally up-to-date on iOS software. I have an Orbi network and have factory reset it as new. Now, it seems that the problem is that my iPhone and iPad are connecting to the network as a 5ghz devices. But the Bridge is on the 2.4ghz and so they aren't communicating. However, I can't turn off the 5ghz network in the network settings on the Orbi web portal for the router. Is there a work around for this? I'm not 100% sure this is my problem. Maybe something else is going on? This is the first time I've set up a Philips product and my first foray into a smart home. I thought by going the Homekit route it would be easiest since I'm already in the Apple ecosystem, but this has proven to be very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!

Bridging Wi-Fi to Ethernet, post Airport Extreme I ditched my Airport Extreme because Apple stopped supporting it. What steps can I take to accomplish bridging between my new Wi-Fi network and the home ethernet network? (Airport Extreme accomplished this by default.)

I cannot say for certain, but there have been some threads where people have had issues with mesh networks. I'm afraid I don't know if these can be resolved with careful selection of settings, or if this is an inherent problem that requires a fix in Apple's firmware.
