WAX610 Band Choosing

WiFi is - by design - especially if operating a single SSID (network name) not a system where you can choose where to "plug" a device to a different "port", with a "different" speed, like for changing two Ethernet devices, say from a 1 GbE port to a 10 GbE port and vice versa.

Is there a way to move an 2 band eligible device from one band to the other? (2.5=>5 or 5=>)?

The band selection is in most aspects fully on the individual WiFi client. And as you certainly know, there are no WiFi clients in the field which allow to force it to connect to an AP on a specific band.  So this is neither specific to the WAX610 for example nor to the two clients you have in mind.

Technically it's very obvious: A WiFi client does associate to the "best" signal level and signal quality - and keeps a reliable connection up even if a mobile device is moving around. Keeping it on the same SSID does allow seamless roaming, regardless if you operate one AP or hundreds of APs, thanks to 802.11k, 802.11v, and 802.11r are IEEE standards that enhance WiFi roaming, creating seamless transitions between access points (APs) in enterprise or mesh networks. They reduce disconnection times during movement, crucial for voice/video calls. 802.11k helps locate nearby APs, 802.11v manages traffic steering, and 802.11r speeds up authentication.

Explain a little bit more, why you want to get your hands into what is intentionally designed and implemented and set by all IEEE standards to automatic?

For what reason you want to force a 5 GHz client connecting to a 2.4 GHz radio, respective forcing one connecting to the 2,4 GHz GHz radio to a 5 GHz radio?
