I know very little about what I'm about to ask. Is there a way to turn off the 5G and just use the 2.4G ?

My questions is more directed at why you want to turn it off?
5ghz doesn't interfere with 2.4ghz and is significantly faster. Why are you wanting it disabled?

That did occur to me.
I wondered if it was someone trying to setup an IoT device.
If you are plagued by a badly written mobile app that can't work with a Mesh syustem that uses the same SSID for 2.4 and 5 GHz temporarily turning off 5 GHz can be useful.
Otherwise it is probably a bad idea.
