Disable 5ghz Antennas on a temp basis: How?

I have a wifi-enabled device that is failing to connect to my 5ghz antenna while doing an upload and the device maker said I need to disable 5ghz and use the 2.4ghz channel instead.  Where in the app does this setting take place? How do I go about temporarily disabling this antenna until the device is able to upgrade?

    1. the orbi devices don't have the ability to disable 5ghz entirely. 

    2. what device is it that you're having issues updating?
