It doesn't look like you have any devices connected to the 5ghz band. 2.4ghz is slow and sensitive to interference.

Sorry for my delayed reply I have been working away from home this past month.
Ok so summary - the extender still does not provide any consistent internet and the speed test results are awful.

- Can we confirm the ‘NOW Broadband Hub Two’ works for 5Ghz?
- I have selected Router-to-Extender in 5GHz only and Extender-to-Device in 2.4GHz only (Router must support 5GHz band) – I am not seeing any improvement

Is the EX6120 a new device? You can always go through support.
I'd also recommend trying it at someone else's home as well (if you have that option).
Reason I say that is I'm not trusting of ISP supplied gateways. They tend to be the cheapest device possible.
