Couple of comments.

 

I cannot disable the 2.4 GHz Radio.  This sucks because my MacBook Pro has better performance when connected to the 5 GHz.

 

If I enable the 2.4 GHz Guest Network to connect my Sonos speakers and Nest, will I be able to connect them if my devices connect through 5 GHz network?

Do not connect Sonos to your guest network, please. Use regular WiFi network. And yes, 5G and 2.4G devices can see even other
