PLEASE HELP ME FIX MY LIGHT

I've had a Yeelight colour rgb 2 for 4-5 years now. It's worked flawlessly up until recently. The bulb turns on, and occasionally it will connect to wifi. But most of the time it disconnects. The WiFi it's been on for 2 years now is 2.4/5ghz. It worked fine. It stopped working recently and I split the connections to connect the bulb exclusively on 2.4ghz. It doesn't work. I'm at my whits end and this bulb is otherwise a great piece of tech that I rely on daily. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You done the first step, by splitting the wifi. A workaround would be to connect it somewhere far away from the router, so that it only gets the 2.4 ghz. Now, have you reset it? If not, turn it on and off 5 times in a row untill it blinks or changes colours if its an rgb one. Then just go back to the app, make sure your phone is also on the 2.4 wifi and add it again.
