5G on WNR2000v4

I'm guessing that the answer is on the Community somewhere, but my search did not turn it up, so please excuse me if this is a repeat question.

I have a NetGear WNR2000v4 router with the latest firmware, and cannot seem to find where to enable the 5G band on it via the NetGear Genie, etc. 

I just installed a NightHawk range extender, and it's showing that 5G is not enabled on my router.  Is my router capable of 5G?  If so, please let me know how to enable it.  Thanks!

Thanks!

I had looked there, but didn't know enough at the time to see that what you're saying is true!

Guess if I want to optimize things, I'll need to get a new router.
