Only ONE 5Ghz band?

I have an X8000 X6S TRI-band extender. It's only pumping out ONE channel on 5GHz, as well as one 2.4Ghz channel. How do I get it to broadcast TWO 5Ghz channels? It's supposed to be Tri band!

    Hello Stvnuk 

     

    The seconds 5ghz band is used to connect directly to your router as a dedicated backhaul.
