Genie 2.4.22 (IOS) only displays first 5GHz radio when accessing wireless settings
Genie 2.4.22 (IOS) only displays first 5GHz radio when accessing wireless settings. I have two R8000s set up as access points, and they both exhibit the same issue. Firmware on R8000 at 1.0.2.46.

Do you maybe have the Smart Connect option enabled? If not what wireless channels do you have set for the two 5GHz radios?

With Smart Connect enabled both 5GHz radios use the same SSID, so that may be the reason for the single listing in Genie. If you scan for wireless networks using a different application or device do you then see two 5GHz APs with the same SSID?

Yes If I scan the network with other software (e.g. inSSIDer or iPhone Airport software) I do see each 5G network.

Well I would suggest that Genie is just using a bit of insider knowledge to display the two Smart Connect 5GHz channels as a single entity.
