Separate 2.4 ghz from 5.0ghz

I need to rename the 2.4Ghz SSID so it is different to the 5 Ghz SSID.  I can't do this via Telnet as NetGear have disabled this.  There are MANY devices from manufacturers such as Jura, Whirlpool, JA Solar, EON etc that require you to only use 2.4GHz and can only connect via a device such as a phone or ipad already on the nextwork.  If you have an apple device, it automatically connects to 5GHz and therefore won't work.  I don't understand why a simple change to the Admin GUI to enable one to change the name of both SSIDs can't be added.  I have tried reducing the 5Ghz strength to 25% and stopping it from broadcasting its SSID and turning off the satelites but that doesn't work.  Anyone with any other ideas?
