Says who? Why? In many cases, what's actually needed is to get some
phone/tablet (with the critical app) to connect to the 2.4GHz radio. If
you can select to which radio the phone/tablet connects, then the mere
existence of a 5GHz radio should not be a problem. If you can't select
to which radio the phone/tablet connects, then disabling the confounding
5GHz radio should be helpful.
"AC1900" is a speed, not a model number. Look for "Model" on the
product label. With that datum in hand, visit
http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for
Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for a topic
like, say, "Disable or Enable the WiFi Radios".
