WiFi broadcast

It says my choice of 2.4 vs 5ghz broadcast is controlled automatically.  How do I change this so I can select 2.4 - which is what is needed for my smart door lock?

The two WiFi bands have recently been combined into one with the Comcast gateway devices. Some devices get confused and don't know how to see / talk to combined bands.


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

Associate the device with the 2.4 band's SSID (broadcast name) and password.
