The simple answer is I didn't try that.

Longer: AP1 was the only AP for a long time, and the only 2 GHz those
early RPi cards would have known.  I bought AP2 as a backup and because
I wanted to provide better 5 GHz overall coverage.  AP2 was in the more
central location, so I left AP2 running on 5 GHz and disabled the 2 GHz
on AP1.  Some of the cards needed a reboot, or the Wi-Fi USB unplugged
and restored.  It wasn't all quite as smooth as I have hoped.
