Wifi 2.4GHz is not going away any tine soon. Routers and Access points are still being released with support for that range. 2.4GHz usually has better range than 5GHz in most environments. I predict 2.4GHz will be supported for 10+ years.
Support of 5GHz will require some electronics update, not just SW.
i have our 2.4 and 5ghz wifi set to the same ssid and password. the xfinity router has intelligence to choose the better path at any given time for our various devices.

and i was going thru a box of old hardware yesterday and found my old Netgear 8-port dual band router. we used that before we switched to xfinity. wonder if it's worth anything?
