Hi!
Just setup Google Nest WiFi Pro yesterday and everything worked perfectly, except some of my light switches uses the 2.4Ghz band, is there a way to see and/or get a 2.4GHz band to appear on my internet setting page for me pick?

The short answer is no, unfortunately. Nest Wi-Fi Pro operates on all 3 bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz) using the same network (SSID) name. Unfortunately, some designed devices like the one you have don't seem to handle Wi-Fi networks which use the same network name for all the Wi-Fi bands very well. Typically, the most common workaround for this is to add a 2.4 GHz only access point to your setup, perhaps repurposing an old router just for this purpose. Alternatively, if this is critical to you or you have lots of these types of devices, you would need to consider a different Wi-Fi solution than Nest Wifi as unfortunately Google haven't made any announcements or feature changes to make working with these poorly designed 2.4 GHz only devices easier.
