I've got a MR70 & one satellite, but no 5GHz network showing - how do I enable it?

What tells you that it is not showing? By default both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz have the same SSID (network identifier). You have to prise them apart deliberately. So you won't see either. Just the WiFi.

I'm paying for an 800 Mbps connection & would like to take full advantage of it - any suggestions?

You will never get that speed over WiFi unless you have the latest and greatest, and most expensive, clients. Most kit will be much slower than that.

You are talking about wifi speeds here, so it might be worth a bit of background reading.
