Repeater mode is realized with a 2.4G interface by asking questions and giving advice in this forum.
What I want is to connect 2.4G to the Internet side and 5G to the office side to connect them.
Where is it written about it? I can't find it because it's shallow

You can't do a wireless ethernet bridge on both radios at the same time that I am aware of, and that is what you are asking to accomplish. You cannot also mix client bridge and repeater bridge modes that I am aware of without looking that up to see if anyone got it to work. If you can use an ethernet cable to connect to the office side of the network, you should be able to do either client or client bridge on your 2.4 radio. If you have another wireless router that is capable of connecting to your 5G band in client or CB mode, then do that.
If you are trying to connect the Buffalo by Wi-Fi as 2.4ghz to the access point then set the Buffalo as a repeater bridge on WL0
Once you have done that set WL1 (5ghz) as an access point.
This will then give you coming out of the Buffalo both 2.4ghz and 5ghz Wi-Fi each with it's own different SSID.
Have a play with Google if needed as there are plenty of guides on how to set DDWRT as a repeater bridge/access point just get it working first as a 2.4ghz repeater bridge and then do WL1 as an access point after.
When I went as advised, it worked as desired.
Thank you for your accurate advice on difficult-to-understand requests.
