    its easy to know

     

    by default all wifi bands are enabled when your multi-band router is on until you manually disable a band

     

    so long as you know the wifi SSID of your router, if it is dual band then you will see the SSID of the router repeated with a suffix to differentiate the 2.4GHz from the 5Ghz band i.e 'netgearXX' and 'netgearXX-5G'
