Yeah it is.
I would change the SSID's name. Both the 2.4 and the 5 GHz are named the same. Add something like _5G to the 5G one. Don't get confused with the guest SSID. There will be 3. The top one is the 2.4. The middle one will be the guest. The bottom one is the 5 G. I'll print out the page when my mom wakes up and I can remote into her.
The SSIDs will have different naming scheme too. Before it would be something like 2Wire883. Now they are named something ATTanY34C. You will need to reconnect all your equipment to the new SSIDs.
If you change the 5Ghz band to blahblah_5G and your devices don't see it, that means they don't support 5G wireless. I picked up a 5G wireless USB adaptor on Amazon for like 13 bucks.

Okay, so you are limited to 802.11n which isn't a big deal. I guess the adapter would depend on if you want an internal or usb adapter. This would also depend on where your PC is sitting
I've used a USB adapter in the past without issues. As a side note, because my PC sits under my desk, I bought the USB adapter and a USB extension cable.
I used a new ( not refurbished ) NETGEAR (WNDA3100 v2) RangeMax Wireless-N Adapter Dual Band
I attached the USB extension cable to a rear port on my PC and ran the other end of the cable up the wall. I then attached the adapter to the end on the wall. This worked very well for me with my router (Netgear N900) about 50 feet from the PC.
You could have some fun with this as well. There are a few guides online that show how to build a small 'dish' for a usb adapter which you can setup in a specific direction to increase reception.
