change device GHZ location

I have nighthawk X6 Model R8000 router. How can I change some of my devices like iPad, iPhone from 5 GHZ to 2.4 GHZ  and TV from 2.4 GHZ to 5 GHZ? I need help on each device to select each device which best wifi network band for its location.

    Go to the router settings
    Turn off Smart Connect if it's turned on
    Name each band differently (eg, MyWiFi-2G, MyWiFi-5G, etc)
