I just bought this modem/router few years ago and it was working fine until last week. I constantly “lost” the 2.4Ghz network and I am not able to join the network.
The reason I want to join 2.4Ghz it’s due to my smart devices which only works on 2.4Ghz bandwidth.
I have updated the firmware and still not helping.

If something has just started happening, it is a good idea to think about what might have changed to make it happen. Maybe the neighbours have added to the local wifi noise.

It might help if you said what these devices are. Otherwise we are shooting in the dark.
If a device only works on 2.4 GHz it will not see, or try to join, a 5 GHz SSID. Some IoT devices come with badly written setup apps that cannot set up a device on 2.4 GHz if they are connected at 5 Hz. One way to deal with that is to temporarily turn off the 5 GHz SSID.
If you cannot force your mobile to connect to 2.4 GHz, one way around this is to
temporarily disable the router's 5 GHz.
Tell the mobile to forget the 5 GHz SSID.
Give it a minute or two to forget the 5 GHz wifi connection
