Unfortunately the SH2 does not allow you to have separate SSIDs for 2.4 & 5GHz. You can switch either or both off & on through the Admin pages on the SH2.

Not sure what other devices you have or how many but an alternative option is to use a separate Access Point (AP) for the 2.4 band just for those devices that don't work well with the SH2. If you have an old home router/hub lying around you could use that instead of a dedicated AP.
