Can I have a 2.4 mhz and a 5 mhz network set up on my CM500
I recently purchased some WiFi enabled can lights but they only communicate on a 2.4 mhz frequency. My CM500 is set up as a 5.0 mhz. Can I set up both on my CM500?

No, it's not. A CMxxxx model is a _modem_, and does not have any
wireless capability in any radio band. Find your wireless-capable
_router_, and worry about that.A typical wireless router which can use the 5GHz band can also use
the 2.4GHz band.
