Hello, I have a D6200 dual band router running firmware V1.1.00.40_1.00.38.
Does anyone know if it is possible to combine the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands so that there is only one SSID, as is possible on some other routers?

No. You need a router that supports "smart connect".
The D6200 – a modem router rather than a plain router – is one of Netgear's lesser devices. It is also nearly a decade old, a bit before this became a standard feature.
The only modem/router I can find that supports that is the D8500.

Re: D6200 - combine bands
Michael,
I thought that might be the case.
I'm actually just using this old router as a WAP so I am not looking to replace it, my main router is a far superior model.
Thanks for your feedback.
Regards,
Rob
