Did you reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash?
New firmware sometimes introduces changes that are not compatible with the old configuration.
So while it isn't guaranteed to fix problems a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have issues with new firmware.
This is a nuisance because you then have to reconfigure the device all over again.
You can backup your settings before you reset and restore them later. But that may just bring back the fault. Then again, at least you will know if the reset fixed the problem.

Re: D6400 and V1.0.0.86 upgrade
I performed the factory default process and reload of the newest firmware and now have both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Thanks again for your reply. First time that happened with a firmware upgrade, so a pretty good batting average for Netgear.
