Pretty frustrating as they said the equipment is all the same.

Yes, if you are getting a spotty connection, even when standing right next to your Gateway, I would definitely suggest creating separate SSIDs for each 5GHz and 2.4, and then by trial and error to confirm you are indeed getting a faster and more reliable connection on the 5GHz one. I am fairly confident you will.
For that matter, if you have those pods set up through out your house, you probably do not need 2.4GHz activated at all, unless you want a printer connected over wifi- in which case you likely need to keep 2.4GHz enabled, provided you cannot you connect your printer through one of the other options (wired once again always being the most stable)
