2.4GHz and 5GHz different for normal and guest network

Want to have only 5 GHz on my normal private WLAN and both frequences 2.4 and 5 GHz on my guest network.

Is it possible to set that up?

Can't find the options for seperate set up ....

    No, both are available, though 5GHz should be automatically preferred by a client, so I'm not sure it would offer a lot of value.

    This feature should be enabled in future Orbi firmware. Ability to designate bands available by SSID. Band steering on Orbi is better than many competitive products, but there are still times when such a feature is necessary.
