I looked again, I do see the 5GHz channel now, but I no longer see
the 2.4 GHz channel! :)

I figured it out.

Both are on the same screen, but you can only see one at a time.
So, you don't slide to the next screen.

You hit the little button that says 5G or 2.4G at the top left,
and then it gives you lovely little parabolas for each WiFi 
access point it sees.

These little parabolas are GREAT because you can see OVERLAP and
you can see how many decibels they are, even when multiple SSIDs
are the SAME (e.g., I have a wifi repeater in my home with the 
same SSID, so I can see exactly which router I'm connecting to).

I don't know how I lived without this stuff before, but, it
isn't needed, I agree, when everything is working perfectly 
and you have huge signal strength and puny noise levels.

It's needed when things aren't so good, which is what is 
happening in Europe right now for my kid and her friend
with their iPads, iPhone, and Android phone.
