The procedure is pretty much the same as described here. It applies to Intel drivers (Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz specifically in my case), but I assume it is similar for other providers.
First a quick reminder of Wi-Fi standards and bands:
| Gen | Standard | Band |
| ------- | -------- | --------------- |
| Wi-Fi 1 | 802.11b | 2.4 GHz |
| Wi-Fi 2 | 802.11a | 5 GHz |
| Wi-Fi 3 | 802.11g | 2.4 GHz |
| Wi-Fi 4 | 802.11n | 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz |
| Wi-Fi 5 | 802.11ac | 5 GHz |
To disable the 2.4 GHz band we need to disable the standards that use it:
- Device Manager » The wireless card » Properties » Advanced Tab
802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless Modeset to1.5GHz 8021.11a
802.11n/ac Wireless Modeset to802.11ac
There is another option Preferred Band which you can set to Prefer 5GHz band, but I don't know what exactly it does and if it is necessary to change it when the all the protocols that use the 2.4 GHz are already disabled.
