Ok, so the thing is to make your airport work all you need do is have the same
network name on 2.4 and 5.0 ghz. The SSID and associated hardware addresses
are the same so it joins either way and then uses the best available option
which is generally the 5.0 ghz if available or the 2.4 ghz type N. You
shouldn’t need to change networks entirely.
Not sure the speed FIOS you have but upgrade to the Quantum router if
you haven’t. Much better WiFi including 5.0 ghz and AC.
Good luck
