I have a Netgear AC1200

We bought a new 985 Roomba vacum and it only uses 2.4 GHz to connect to our WiFi.

Don't these routers normally defalt to use 2.4 GHz and not 5 GHz?

Again, AC1200 is a speed, not a model. Look at the label on the device and it'll have a model number on there. 

If its a dual band router, both bands broadcast at the same time.

If you're trying to setup your roomba, first make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4ghz band and then go through setup. Otherwise most devices can't be setup from your phone if its not on the matching band. 

You can log into the router to see the name for each band by default. or you can even change the ssid/password for the bands.
