> Force devices to use 5 GHz

You can force devices to use 5 GHz by having different ESSIDs for the 2.4 GHz network and the 5 GHz network. A device configured to use the home-5g network won't try to connect to the home-2g4 network, and vice versa.

I meant people, force people to use the 5 GHz band in an easy hassle-free way.
