CAX30 no 5ghz transmitting

Hello,

 

I've had the CAX30 which has been a pain in the butt since I first got it. I come back from a week-long vacation, and don't see my 5ghz network. In the browser GUI, there is a red dot on the 5ghz network. I check the router itself and there is no light for 5ghz. I updated to the latest 2.2.1.12 firmware and it didn't help. What else can I do? Otherwise what have people been switching to from this device, it has been a big disappointment.

    Mods please close.

     

    If anyone sees this. Spectrum had an outage earlier in the day for me apparently when I didn't arrive home yet. 

     

    Final solution, update FW to latest, and then reset the device. Pain in the butt to reconfigure my port forwarding options, but that's what fixed it.
