From within the graphical user interface (GUI), have you shut off the 5 GHz SSID broadcast?
I use Nighthawk to configure everything. I cannot find any setting pertaining to something called SSID broadcast. Should I be using a web browser to check configuration?

YES! And if possible, connected directly to the CAX30 via an Ethernet cable. Phone applications and Wi-Fi connections have a track record of occasionally introducing problems that can be avoided with the web browser and Ethernet cable.
