@TheOldPresbyope: I double checked and I really see my SSID twice, but no matter which one I choose, it always connecta to 2.4GHz.
@Tim Curtis: As I also use the same PSK for 2.4 and 5 GHz, I'm sure, that it's ok. For testing, I now disabled the 2.4GHz. Then (after reboot) Moode connects to 5GHz (but it took much longer that connecting to 2.4 GHz for whatever reason).
I'm using the same SSID, because of several reasons. You need only to remember one SSID/PSK, no matter if you have a 2.4 or 5 or dual band device - you don't even need to know which band is supported by your device - this makes it easier for the other family members which are non-technical users. Also in some rooms 5 GHz signal/bandwidth is better then the 2.4GHz because of the several other 2.4 GHz APs of the neighbors sending on the same channel. And till now, all my devices auto-switch between 2.4/5GHz, depending on the better signal (they at least use the better signal after boot and in case of signal drop, they try to switch over to the other band).
On Moode it seems not to automatically switch over (at least on my installation), but I assume this is more an issue of the underlying OS then an issue of Moode itself ...
