Thank you for reaching out on a Sunday! I had a device listed that was not my phone name that was blocked. When I checked my phones IP and Mac address that was the device that was mis labeled and blocked. I renamed it and unblocked it and wala my phone is connected. You deserve a pay raise, promotion and 2 week all expenses vacation anywhere in the world! Have a great day!

Looks like I might have combined 2.4 G and 5 G on one network. Netgear Nighthawk app speed test on computer shows Download 464.91, Up load 23.16, and Ping 29 MS. The only problem I have is connecting my Android Pixel 5 phone. I see my Pixel 5 is not listed as a device on my network. Seems all I need to do is a my device?

Never mind I figured it out. Pixel 5 phone update changed my settings. I drilled down and everything is working on one network with 2.4 and 5 G combined in smart mode.
