Generally the procedure is to login to the management console in the gateway to temporarily disable the 5GHz radio, connect your devices, and then restore settings.  Everything will remain connected.  
Fair warning there may be other long term issues with your connected WiFi devices due to limitations in the gateway itself.

To avoid confusion for other viewers, you mean to 2.4GHz right?
