To enable the 2.4HGz Guest Wifi, go to http://192.168.1.254/cgi-bin/wconfig_unified.ha . Enter the Access Code which is found on the gateway itself.
Then Enable the Guest SSID and note the Guest Network Name and Password. Don't forget to click Save.
Then point the heater to that SSID and use that password.

Is a Guest network by default only 2.4 GH? I don't see any way to turn it off or alter it separate from the main network.

Yes, it is just 2.4GHz. The instructions I gave in my last post on how to enable it should work. Did you try that and still have a problem?

An alternative and more secure method connecting devices that only use 2.4GHz band, for posterity, there are two which are more secure than using guest network.
For Att gateways, using same instructions above to access the management console, disable the 5GHz radio temporarily, connect the needed device or devices, then reenable the 5GHz radio. Everything should stay connected.
A preferable solution is to use a personal WiFi system from a good networking brand and connect it to the gateway as an access point. These systems are more reliable and better performers all around. Disable WiFi in the gateway when doing this procedure.
