Trouble connecting a Hunter Irrigation Wand module to the Nest network

I am trying to install a Hunter Irrigation Wand module on my Hunter Controller, but it won't connect.  I know the Wand is only 2.4 Ghz compatible.  Is that the problem?  My modem broadcasts both 2.4 and 5.0 and according to Spectrum there is no way to limit it to 2.4 and they say doing so would cause other problems.  Should I just give up on the Hunter wand connection and stay old school with the irrigation controller?

Nest Wifi uses a combined SSID for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz.

A standard Wi-Fi feature that unfortunately a lot of IoT device manufacturers does not support.

There are a lot of threads on the topic, where various workarounds are presented. For instance:
