The WM100 is a 2.4 GH WI-Fi  module.
Can you tell us what you mean by VHF and UHF networks.
As the description VHF and UHF don't describe the network you should be using.

Thank you for the clarification.
You are not alone with routers picking the 5.0 GHz band.
There are other posts here on some fixes found by others.
One thread on this is:  https://forums.x10.com/index.php?topic=31632.0
Until others may post their findings to you.

Make sure your phone is connected to 2.4 and not 5G before starting. It's best to set up your router with different SSID's for 2.4 and 5G radios. If you need help with that tell us what brand & model router you have.

I just tried what someone posted. I went into my mode's wifi, advanced setting area. I was allowed to deactivate the 5g Setting; Ihit save button. I then reconnected my wm100; It worked. I also connected my 2.4 cameras. They work. I went back and activated the 5g (in my modem) setting and saved it. Everything works
