I got fiber installed at the begining of the year. The speeds have been excellent and a huge upgrade from Cox, but recently I’ve started having some connectivity issues with devices that are 2.4ghz only. Mainly a 3D printer, Tapo Camera and a pellet grill. Any reason why this would happen all the sudden?

Get a mesh system, the wireless router they give you is arse. Has nothing to do with fiber.

Did the 2.4 device connectivity change, or has it always been substandard? Especially with the pellet grill, you're likely running into interference issues.

2.4 has a "three wall" rule, where three walls of drywall degrades signal a ton. Assuming your walls aren't plaster and lathe, this is probably the issue. Could also be a leaky microwave, since I doubt you have an old school cordless phone in use.

This 100%. NetGear has some good (and easy) mesh options.

It seemed to pop up in the last month or so. Last night I went and separated to 2.4 and 5 into 2 separate networks so I’ll see if that helps
