5G

Is anyone having their "WiFi" drop with netgear05 and also another one coming up netgear05-5g which WON'T accept the password netgear sent when I originally got this two years ago

how do I connect then to the 5g WiFi?

       Probably not.

     

       Has your (unspecified) router a model number?  Look for "Model" on
    the product label.

     

       With that datum in hand, you might try this radical concept:

     

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for a
    topic like "Specify Basic WiFi Settings".  Further reading might not
    hurt, either.
