Hi, just installed the Gig1 router and touch wood, so far all ok.
Just one question, the only wifi that I can see (which I've connected to fine) is the name of the router, there's no 2.4ghz and 5ghz to choose from as there was with the virgin router I have just replaced.
Is this correct, or should I be able to see both channels to choose from?
Thanks in advance

Wow thanks for the very clear and very fast answer!
So by the sound of it, there's no real point in me doing that if my devices will switch between the best channels required at each point of connecting?

Be aware most devices will automatically switch between bands, but some will not work at all with both bands on the same SSID. Recently installed some IoT plug sockets that work only on the 2.4 GHz band and they specifically stated in the instructions to turn off the 5GHz band, although it could be turned on after installation.
