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.

Why would the installer lie to me? Regardless, if you are correct and you can "force" the 2.4 , what happens when the network temporarily goes down? When it comes back online do you have to "force" the 2.4 again? Because my cameras are on the 2.4 and I'm gone for 6 months, so how would I get them back online? You can buy a dual band router for $30 and it's no longer an issue. Same applies to the new app.
