What plugs are these? You may not be able to shut down 5 GHz, but there may be ways of getting these poorly designed plugs to play nicely.For a start , if you are using a mobile app to connect these things, work out how to disable the 5 GHz reception on that.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
