changing router settings

when I go to the router settings I can only access my 2.4 GHz settings not my 5.6 GHz settings. How do I go about doing that. I have tried everything. I am connected wirelessly on my 5.6 side.

    If you go into Advanced -> Setup -> Wireless Setup, you should be able to see settings for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks. Can you only see the 2.4 GHz network in here?

    Also, what router or access point is it that you have? Could you post a screenshot of the Wireless Setup page for us?

    If you cannot see a 5g config under the 2.4 config I'm guessing your router is 2.4 Only. I cannot recall any netgear SOHO routers which have a separate page for each band.
