Force 5ghz Channels

I'm having a problem with one iphone 6 which has a damaged wifi.
I would like to try and force the phone to use only the 5ghz frequency if possible to test if just a particular antenna is bad in the phone.
So, since I don't see any clear ways to set my router to only use the 5ghz frequency, can someone guide me in setting it up? I only have iphones connecting to the wifi which all have 802.11ac capabilites, so I should be able to force it onto one frequency or another. As you can see from the clip below, it is running at 2.462 frequency. I've unchecked ' Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence' already, and Channel 11 is clear in my area. Any thoughts and ideas are appreciated.
Is this router even capable of running only 5ghz frequency, or do I need to buy a 802.11ac wifi router?
This is just for testing, so I'd prefer not to have to purchase a new router if I can avoid it.
Below is a snippet of what a wifi channel scanner sees.

If you want to connect to 5g only then delete or forget previous connections and then connect to a 5g SSID only. If it is 5g capable it would be obvious in it's setup. One thing is certain it's not a 5gAC
