That's not how it works.
As you have probably discovered, 5 GHz didn't "disappear". It is still there but it got bundled in with 2.4 GHz to create a single SSID.
The RAX120 will have same feature. If Smart Connect is disabled, you'll see the separate 5Ghz SSID, if you enable Smart Connect on the 120, then devices won't see a separate 5Ghz SSID, however the 5Ghz signal is combine in to 1 SSID name with 2.4Ghz. So it's there, been there all the time. Just using same name as the 2.4Ghz SSID name.
