limited users on 2.4ghz band

Hello, I have an R8000 triband router in my home, my problem is that the 2.4 band is limited to 32 users, I dont have many persons that use the internet, but I just buy a lot of light swiches to make my home smart, and every device use an ip of my network and only work in the 2.4 band not the 5 band

What do I need to buy or to do to increase the number of users in my 2.4 band? any ideas?

Model: R8000P|Nighthawk X6S—AC4000 Tri-Band WiFi Router

   Add a wireless access point (probably with a different SSID)?

   If you can run a cable from the R8000 to a neighborhood where some
low-demand devices on the 2.4GHz band reside, then almost any cheap/old
router could be employed.
