Nest wifi does not allow for only 2.4 GHz.. saying this, I have many devices that require 2.4 GHz wifi and have never had an issue setting them up.   There isn't isolation between the bands, so the devices should be able to see each other just fine.  Have you tried with the Arlo yet?  You can try setting it up outside the 5gz range as it is much shorter than 2.4 GHz , see if that helps.

I have Arlo cameras that can only detect 2.4GHz wifi systems. How can I force Google Nest to 2.4GHz for the Arlo setup?
