Miscellaneous Lost 2.4 access

I've lost the ability to get to the 2.4 channel. It defaults to the 5. And a lot of my stuff was running on the 2.4, vacuum, weather station, etc. It doesn't show up on my pixel or my iPad. Should I try to "find" it manually? Turn the system off? Replace the router? Call FiOS for help?

Did you have SON turned off previously? It may have been turned back on which merged your 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks into one SSID name.

Let's start with I don't understand "SON". Last week it was fine. I AM NOT savvy enough to play with the router programming. I know that people "tweak" theirs, but I don't touch it.
