Use the separate IoT network for 2.4Ghz only support for devices that seen only 2.4Ghz connections.

One of my RBS850 satellites is close enough to interfere with a wireless speaker system that uses the 2.4Ghz band, but I need it in that specific location to connect to the other devices that rely on faster internet speeds provided by the 5Ghz signal.

I do not want to disable 2.4Ghz for the whole system as I have devices that cannot connect to 5Ghz.
Below is my firmware- which I can confirm is the latest as of Jan 2, 2025
