Can I have a guest network use wifi 5 please?

Hey people 😊

Ok so got XD5 with 4 nodes for ai mesh network and works great with my BT full fibre 900 (I am in UK)

little confused as in the Asus router app>network settings at the top of the page there is a slider for  wifi 6 802.11ax mode on/off is this for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz please? No way to separate them?

I don’t use smart connect, I use separate channels but as the option to disable wifi 6 is at the top of the page, does this affect both 5 and 2.4 channels?

If I use the router webpage there is options for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz so a little confused as does the app override this and disable wifi 6 on both?

 

Reason I ask is every device works fine in my house apart from my Ring Camera (other Ring devices work fine) but I don’t think it supports wifi 6.

If I create a guest network can I force it to just use wifi 5 please? Or is this not possible? Then I could connect my ring camera to this?

 

also and sorry for all questions, my internet speed is 900mbps down and around 100mbps up, and on 5ghz I get over 900 on Ethernet and around 700 on wifi which is great, but 2.4ghz is terrible, I can’t even get around 20mbps! Any settings I can change in app please?

 

many thank for any help 😊
