RBK752 Separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs

Just got the RBK752 and was under the assumption I could separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz into 2 SSIDs as the RBK50 can.  Those instructions via Telnet do not work and Netgear support indicate separating the SSIDs is not supported on this WIFI 6 model.  I am trying to isolate a Sonos 5 speaker that has to work over 2.4GHz and I had issues with my previous router dropping a connection to this speaker.  I've run "wlanconfig ath1 list" and Sonos never shows up.  Not sure the numbers there truly show the speed anyway.. seems to note what max speed might be.  Any advice on either separting out the SSIDs or a command/process to isolate a 2.4GHz device (Sonos 5 2nd Gen) to monitor the speed it is getting is much appreciated.

Telnet or separation of SSIDs is not officially supported on Orbi systems.
