5G Disappeared

I have a Nighthawk Cax30.
Yesterday I had 5G and this morning it totally disappeared. All devices that was connected to it are offline now.
I ended up rebooting the router from the app and now I can't even connect to the 2.4G network.
So the reboot made everything worse.
I ended up totally unplugging the router, waiting and then reconnecting and then going to my main devices like the TVs and all and redoing the whole connection process.
Why is this happening?
I recall having to do this a month ago as well and about 2month prior to that a tech from netgear had me change settings to keep 5g available. Guess it didn't work.

    Press the reset button in back for 10 seconds then release. Walk thru the setup wizard with a wired PC and web browser connected at 192.168.1.1...
