Re: Netgear 5G is not being displayed
This is not a "simple configuration issue", it is either a Firmware/Software Issue or a Hardware Failure Issue. The first NETGEAR C6300 I purchased and hooked up to my 100Mbps/5Mbps Time Warner Cab...

C6300 V2.01.14
5Ghz LED not lit even though 5Ghz channel is enabled and ssid is enabled. I noticed with a wireless app that it is actually broadcasting on the 2GHz channel just like the other one, because the channel is eithe 1 or 6 instead of the expected channel 36! very weird. I have anothe wifi-bridge thta has 5Ghz just fine and my devices can connect to it.
I don't see any firemware upgrade option for this C6300 and I am using Comcast.
HELP! I need 5g!

Hello drewster67
You have no option to update the firmware because all firmware is pushed from your ISP to the modem they release it. So you may want and try and factory reset the modem see if that will get the 5ghz working if not you may want to contact comcast support and have them try to send signals and reboot the modem could be a something in there config.
