OK. It is not possible. Sorry. Return it.
A phone that contains only 2.4G WiFi will "see" the Orbi 2.4G WiFi channel and connect. Such a phone cannot detect the 5G WiFi signal at all. Thus, it cannot be "confused".
These phones would be ideal for the original setup of an Internet of Things (IoT) device that has a poorly written app, because they can connect only at 2.4G. Once the setup is completed, the app can be run on any device.
You are one luck dude.
