How I fixed the Feit Wifi LED Lightblub (2.4ghz issue)
UPDATE 11/2020: Watch this video if you are still having trouble :) ua-cam.com/video/z7wOYSzXAa4/v-deo.html
----
UPDATE 1/2020: You can use the AP mode button in the new Feit app. Just press that and follow the general instructions in this video. Name the Access Point the same as your existing network and use the same password.
---
Update 3/2021:
You can setup a hotspot with Windows 10 and you don't need to use a 2nd phone!

******
Having trouble with a 5ghz network on your new Feit color changing light bulbs? Just setup a mobile hotspot with the same SSID and password as your real hotspot (making sure that hotspot is 2.4ghz if you can set that) and you'll be up in no time. Once your mobile hotspot is turned off the bulbs will connect to your real wifi network.
Steps:
1) Unplug home wifi
2) setup hotspot on your phone that matches SSID and password exactly of your normal wifi
3) connect your 2nd phone to the mobile hotspot
4) reset the lights as mentioned in video
5) your 2nd phone should see the lights and connect them to the hotspot
6) Turn off the hotspot
7) plugin your home wifi
8) it should work without mobile hotspot being turned on now!

    I have an iPhone XS Max (software version 15.1) and 5GHz router and was able to easily connect a Feit bulb with one change to the set up procedure in the Feit app. In other words, I did not have to trick the bulbs in any way or conjure up a hotspot! Once in the app, get to the 'Add Device' screen with the animated blinking bulb. At the top right of the screen note where it says 'EZ Mode' and tap that. The pull down includes 'AP Mode' (no idea what that does) and 'Bluetooth'. Tap 'Bluetooth' and proceed to setup as instructed. Done. Exhale. Smile. It seems Feit heard the complaints and added this feature. Cheers!

    Your method did not work for me. However in Eero Wi-Fi system you can temporarily make it 2.4 GHz by going to settings, and I could the connect the bulbs easily. If you have other Wi-Fi systems check if you can go to router settings and expose separate Wi-Fi’s for 2.4 and 5 GHz. And connect to 2.4.

    This only works for people who have auto-switching AC routers and left the DEFAULTS on, a lot of us turn that ish off and separate the WiFis out because so many devices can't work with it, e.g. every single ROKU ever made, including 2021 models.
