I switched it off for 15mins (lad was out :-) ) And the 5GHz magically 
reappeared?

So all back to being good right now - but for how long ??

Probably not, but I do need good strong 5GHz signal in 2 distant rooms 
to connect x2 VM V6 tv boxes (dont want to run ethernet).  My 2 
expresses are doing the job just fine now.  Replacing with a Mesh wifi 
router gives me the option of adding Mesh points later if the expresses 
aren't compatible and I find I need it.
