Split (broadband) bands when using new EE black box to run devices

If I have the new black box, can I split the band into 2.4ghz and 5ghz?

Thank you.

No, not with the Smart Hub Plus. Best you can do is temporarily disable the 5 GHz band while connecting problematic 2.4 GHz devices.

@terryrmm : Try on the Advanced Settings > Wireless page to temporarily disable the 5 GHz WiFi band & move off the Smart channel while connecting problematic 2.4 GHz devices.
