Router only shows network NETGEAR34, not -2G or 5G

I just upgraded from my Netgear N600 router to the R6900P (AC1900). With the N600 (NETGEAR74) I could use either NETGEAR74-2G or NETGEAR74-5G. After upgrading and installing the Nighthawk 6900P I also had both bands, NETGEAR34-2G and NETGEAR34-5G. But then I enabled Qos and SmartConnect, and suddenly the two bands disappeared and now there is only NETGEAR34. I disabled both Qos and SmartConnect but I still have only one band -- it seems like it's just 2GHz. How do I get back both -2G and -5G bands?

Apologies William10a,
How dumb -- I figured it out, simply had to edit the SSID name and add the "_5G" to the 5GHz Setting. Problem solved. Too easy!

If you want to see two ssid's disable smart connnect it places the same ssid and passphrease on both bands.

Hi William10a, Thank you
I did disable SmartConnect. Both the 2G and the 5G settings are enabled, but they both have the same SSID: NETGEAR34. But I want the the 5G Setting to have its own SSID of NETGEAR34_5G. How do I make that happen?
