    What router do you have? 
    Tough to give any instructions without knowing what device is it.

        The C7000 doesn't have smart connect (combines the 2.4ghz and 5ghz signal into one). So it should be as simple as having the device choose the other ssid for the 5ghz. 

        You can log into your router and check to see what you named the 5ghz ssid
