    Within the T-Life app, if you have it linked to your T-Mobile Home Internet.  They should be the option to split the WiFi into 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.  This won't have much, if any impact on the ping to a gaming server though.  Some gaming servers are half way around the world and no matter how fast your connection is.  That is going to take longer than someone on the same continent.  In some cases, the route taken to connect to that server can introduce latency, raising the ping.  Services providers like Cogent as one example, aren't the greatest, but there is nothing anyone, sometimes the game company, can do about that.
