Change network connection from Tablo app

Many devices let you select network connections (Ethernet; wifi 2.4 or 5 GHz) using the remote control and a setup screen.

Getting a Tablo on the Network is a bit more of a challenge without a remote, but once it is done it should be possible to make network connection changes in a GUI using one of the available apps, perhaps at least the my.tablotv.com web app.

I would like to switch my Tablo from a 2.4 GHz connection to a 5 GHz connection as a performance test but the process is more involved than it should have to be. In fact I do not believe there is a published procedure for doing this. The only one I know of requires a factory reset and loss of recordings, which is not an acceptable solution.

Tablo Techs, please give this suggestion serious consideration. Thanks!

Was that helpful? It should explain how to change the WiFi network from the 2.4 GHz band to the 5 GHz band, provided they are actually separately named SSIDs.

Theuser86: I concede there is a published method to change wifi settings, but I contend it is much more involved than the methods used on other media players like Roku and FireStick and Shield TV, which have a simplified process using the remote control. In my opinion there should be a similar option in the Tablo app, like other functions to rescan channels; change recording resolution; etc. without having to push the blue button.
