EX6120 Will Not Connect to Internet on 5Ghz

Update: Interesting note. While my EX6120 has "connections" on both 2.45 andf 5 to my router, only the 2.4 side has internet. BUT, when I look at my connected devices on my router, the EX6120 ONLY shows up on the 5G side.
Isn't that weird? For giggles, I shut off the EX6120's 2.4 side to see if maybe I actually WAS connecting the 5G side and the EX6120 was reporting it backwards, but when I did that, I lost ALL internet on the EX6120.
So, we have an extender that thinks it's connected to 2.4 and a Netgear router that thinks the EX6120 is connected on the 5G side.
Huh....
