My HP Smart Tank 5100 printer needs a 2.4 GHz network but the Gateway is 5.0. Is there a way to change it?

My new printer has become unusable. HP says to contact my internet service provider. Here is the HP video that says 2.4GHz is required  https://youtu.be/O-hSNDCJTTM?si=y0hOIRhxD2mTQuJG

Xfinity, please advise. I tried to use the Xfinity chat bot but it didn't understand my question. My HP Smart Tank 5100 printer needs a 2.4 GHz network but the Gateway is 5.0. Is there a way to change it? 

Thank you in advance!

If you are not using any Xfi Pods, you can try separating the 2.4 and the 5.0 names and give them two different broadcast names / SSID's;
