Ex2700 - cannot connect to 5g

I recently bought a ex2700 wifi extender. I set it up no issue however my router puts out two signals (2.4 and 5 g) and the extender only connects to the 2.4 option. I need it to connect to the 5 g option. Any suggestions or solutions?

        I've only ever used this one. Just commenting that it doesnt support 5GHz as I found to my surprise also when I bought it. Its only used to extend the network to the garage for the camera so not really bothered and I got it cheap on Amazon sale. Looks like the netgear EX6120 will do both bands though.
