For future reference, another ploy that has worked for many people when setting up IoT toys is to disable broadcasting of the 5GHz SSID.
It isn't the existence of 5 GHz that is the pain, but the fact that the setup process can be with a mobile app that connects to the 5 GHz. Poorly designed IoT apps can get their knickers in a twist when this happens. Force them on to 2.4 GHz and all works well.
