CAX 30 Separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz Radios

I'm planning on purchasing a Nighthawk CAX30. I have several devices around the house that can only connect to a 2.4 GHz radio. The Ubee Modem/Router from Optimum cannot connect to these devices because it's trying to connect with the 5 GHz radio. It's not possible to separate the two radios with separate SSIDs. Is it possible to separate the two radios with 2 SSIDs with the Nighthawk so that I'm able to connect the 2.4 GHz only devices?
