Connecting a wifi speaker to 5G network

I have two wi-fi speakers that I need to connect to the 5G network. They connect but to the 2.5g network.  They are Polk SB 6 speakers.

try turning down the 2.4Ghz power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% or 25% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

    If the speakers have a reset function, try resetting them and set them back up. I had a stubborn TV that supported 5g but would never connect. Resetting it fixed the problem.
