Tp link router not showing 5ghz

[Randomw426]

I got a new TP Link archer a X 21 router and it does not show a separate 5 GHz connection when I search my available Wi-Fi like my old Netgear router did. However when I connect my Xbox series X it automatically shows as a 5GHz connection in Xbox settings, but when I connect my PlayStation 5 to the same Wi-Fi network it shows 2.4 GHz in the ps5 settings and it’s the same exact Network they are both connecting to and not one with an additional 2.4 or 5 GHz name after it.
what’s going on here I’m confused. Why doesn’t it show a 2.4 and a 5ghz separate when I search available Wi-Fi networks? Is the router broadcasting both on the same name and if so why isn’t my ps5 connecting that way as the Xbox? Thanks for the help

Smart Connect is perhaps enabled on the router.

Smart Connect is perhaps enabled on the router.

how would I check and see if that’s what it is

User Manual? It's a setting in router's WebUI.

I’m going to see if I can do it on the tether app

I can't help you with the tether app. The router has pretty good WebUI with perhaps more options than what the app offers.

The tether app showed that smart feature was enabled which is all good. Now I’d just like to know why my Xbox x connects to the 5ghz yet my ps5 connects to the 2.4ghz

Read what Smart Connect (also called Band Steering) is and how it works, please. Information is readily available on Internet.
