Pairing Arlo devices with nest?

[anotherdayatthe]

I recently bought Nest wifi in order to extend the wifi coverage throughout my home which has worked very well. However, my Arlo devices (Pro 4 camera and a Doorbell) will not connect to the Nest wifi as they only connect to a 2.4 GHz band.   I use a Pixel 6 phone and this will not allow me to select 2.4 only and other suggestions I've seen about buying a 2.4 only network don't seem workable because they they wouldn't be on the mesh network which I need to give the extended coverage.    I find it hard to believe that Google and Arlo would not have a solution to this?  Any adivce?

I think you need to look for workarounds like setting up a temporarily or permanent 2nd, non-Nest Wifi access point for 2.4ghz only. If temp use same metwork name (SSID) and password as your Nest Wifi. Or "Arlo SmartHub"?
