The 2.4 ghz signal has a longer range. If that works, you can then move the device closer to the modem and it will stay connected. I have never actually tried this, so I don't know if it works. I think that this is not an issue with most modern devices, and most newer modems are dual frequency.
I don't understand it either. I have the eero mesh router when I ran into the problem about the 5ghz signal I went online and they said there was a process you had to go through to get a 2.4ghz signal, but it was only a temporary fix. Instead of driving myself crazy I order some 5ghz smart plugs on Amazon.
