LAX20 4G - 5G wi-fi is on and active but 5Ghz led is off

Hello, my LAX20 is ok, in LTE mode with Coop Voce as provider. All is fine, the 2.4 and 6Ghz bands are active and connect ed by cell mobile , with non problema.
BUT the led light is off, as in the foto .
I have read manual and google search , with no successi. Can you help me, ? Thanks
  • Did this just happen? Did it used to work just fine and all of a sudden the 5GHz wifi LED died? Try saving a backup of your settings, and do a full factory reset, and start from scratch and see if you can get the 5G wifi LED to work. If it remains dead even after a full factory reset, it could be a HW problem. unlikely but not impossible.

    To be honest, since your network works fine on both radios (2.4 and 5) I would not really worry about it.

        Thanks for the response. Yes, All works fine, only the led (on 5Ghz) is off, mayby a factor failure. Because all the LAX20 functionality are good, i keep Your suggestion 'dont'worry , be happy'. Thanks for all, Max
