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?

Model: CM500-1AZNAS|High Speed Cable Modem—DOCSIS 3.0

   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.
