5ghz Won't Show Up
I have a Netgear Router R6050. Recently someone in my household decided to let a friend change some settings to the router and now the 5Ghz doesn't show up anymore. It will only be shown when I'm connected through LAN cable. I have the connections broadcasted but yet I the 5Ghz will not show up.

Either the entire 5 GHz network has been disabled or SSID broadcasting is turned off. Log into the router and check both conditions.
Otherwise, perform a factory reset and set up the router from scratch. You might want to change the admin password to prevent this from recurring. You will have to physically secure the router or else they can simply push the reset button to gain access.
