Hi DeeBeeEff,
The 5GHz connection that you are referring on the screenshot is the extender to device connection. That means that you currently do not have any wireless device/s connected to the 5GHz band of the extender. That should change once you have a device connected to the 5GHz band of the extender.

Hi DeeBeeEff,
