I've just been given a load of devices that say it can't run on 5ghzs but runs on 2.4ghz so can we make it so the devices can still work

Yes.

 

Pretty much All 5ghz Routers Will have the facility to run 2.4 ghz Devices.(Backward Compatable).

 

But not the otherway arround as 2.4ghz was the Sandard before 5ghz came on the scene later on.
