5Ghz is not in range R6900

Hello. I’ve had my Nighthawk AC1900 R6900 router for a little over a year. It had no issues connecting to the 5 ghz WiFi previously and has just started showing not in range when looking for it on devices. I’ve restarted it and it still shows the same. Any help on how to fix this??

       Does your saying "5 ghz" mean that the 2.4GHz band works, or that
    you've tried only the 5GHz band, or what?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for the LED
    descriptions and "Troubleshoot".  Pay special attention to "WiFi On/Off
    button with LED".  (Did you press it?)

      The 2.4 ghz works but I’ve been able to connect to just the 5 in the past on my firestick.
