Hi
I have a dual band wifi extender (TP-Link RE450) that I'm stuggling to connect to the 5GHz wifi on my EE router. I have separated the 2.4GHz and 5GHz on the router. I can connect the extender to 2.4GHz OK, but I can't find a way to set WPS on the router to 5GHz so I can connect that also.
I read online about switching WPS off, then switching it on for 5GHz, but I can't see a way to switch WPS on for 5GHz, on my router.
Any help greatly appreciated.

That just shows 5GHz turned off. Go to advanced settings and turn it on.

There's no option to turn it on in advanced settings, that's the problem.
Anyway, I've managed to get it working, now. Here's how:
- Connected to 2.4GHz using WPS
- Turned off 2.4GHz wifi in the router settings
- This allows 5GHz WPS to be enabled
- Connected to 5GHz using WPS
- Switched 2.4GHz back on in router settings
Cheers
