Can I connect the controller to the extender at 2.4G while my iPhone is connected to the router at 5G or do I have to connect my iPhone to the extender at 2,4 too?

Yes that is fine. This isn't an issue of any sort. Phonebuff's comments touch perfectly on why this should not be an issue.

Here's a rather basic question for you experts I've never been sure I totally understand. I recently installed a new controller for my sprinkler system which also comes with it's own app.<br />
The controller is in the garage. My Netgear R9000 router is on the opposite side of the house. Also, the controller only accepts 2.4G.<br />
<br />
I purchased an extender to boost the signal to the garage which puts out both 2.4G and 5G. My iPhone is set to 5G from my router. <br />

Connecting WIFI Extenders

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
