Splitting X1 router for 2.4 and 5.0

After two attempts to use chat, and the last one disconnecting me because the "tech" went and changed my wifi name and password, I still don't know how to change the router to accept both 2.4 & 5.0. I would like someone who has done this or a rep. from Xfinity show/tell me exactly how to do this. All of my devices use 5.0. I am thinking of buying a new automatic sprinkler controller that can only run on 2.4. I just can't go through chat again. Thanks in advance.
