This is 100% false. All routers that support the new protocols also still support all of the old protocols. The real issue here is that many smart devices only connect to 2.4Ghz networks, and when you try to connect them, they only see the 5Ghz network.
The original 360 Wifi app had the ability to force your network to 2.4Ghz for the initial device connections. Once connected the devices are fine when the default goes back to 5Ghz. I do not see that provision anywhere in the new Quantum app... so this is going to be a huge issue for them and customers.
