Can my sky router have separate passwords for 2.4ghz and 5ghz

I have my router split so we get 2.4ghz and 5ghz in our house, but is it possible to have a separate password for each channel, I want to say to the kids that here is their password for the 5ghz and all the other equipment that I don't want them messing about with can be on 2.4ghz which only me and the wife will have the password for like the cctv, doorbell, wife sockets etc

 

Many Thanks

@fkijshkfhjsdgfl  If the bands are split then you just need to amend the password on the relevant band within the Sky Hub wifi settings page.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Important to note that 'splitting bands' doesn't create any WLAN (or LAN) device separation: every connected item of network-capable hardware is still just as visible to other network users as it was before.  The setup it sounds like you're after would require VLANs (or 'client isolation' in an access point), which typically ISP hardware does not support.
