Accepted Answer

In my case, only 2.4GHz networks are displayed in Extension Mode, so I assume that 5GHz cannot be "extended".

Answer

Yes you can! Under the WLAN settings, make sure to tick the box '5GHz and 2.4GHz' so you can connect to both depending on what is available. And in your devices (e.g. PC, laptop, mobile phone), you have to connect to both networks, so it can alternately switch depending on what's best/available.
