Forcing a device to 2.4 ghz

will this affect speed of my 5 ghz devices?
Lowering the wifi signal has an effect on the entire 5Ghz WIFI channel. I never suggest this unless you are experiencing too much overlapping because your satellites are too close. Before I did that I would add a satellite to your RBR50 system and place it closer to your work area. There are some inexpensive satelites available. If you cannot find a decent priced used satellite, right now Netgear has the RBS40V-200 Orbi Voice satellite on sale for $99.99. I can vouch it has great coverage and the addition of the speaker and Alexa is a plus.
Or you could disable 5Ghz on your PC or laptop.
