Wifi switch not going into pairing mode

Any chance you came right with this, also experiencing the same with a 4 Gang Eachen Switch
 
I recently started installing a few sonoff light switches. I experienced the same issue where the switches was not pairing.

I had to disables 5ghz on the router/AP, full restart and tried again. All good thereafter

Did your 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz signals have the same name?
 
I am using sonoff with the eWeLink app

I create a different name (Vlan) for the 2.4ghz

Post the pairing, I reactivated the 5ghz (different name)
 
A lot of network routers / APs will allow you to create multiple wi-fi networks. Create one specifically for IOT devices and disable the 5Ghz band on that SSID.

E.g. Unifi has a checkbox for this for each wi-fi network.
