Cant detect 5g network after downloading drivers
When I download the latest driver, all of a sudden my adapter can't detect the 5g network and when I tried deleting the driver the 5g network comes back up. I have tried downloading an older driver ...

Does that mean that you see 5GHz again when you remove the driver?
I assume that you have checked that the 5 GHz source is still working.

have you tried updating the modem to the latest firmware vesion 1.0.0.51_1.0.1 to see if that helps and solves your issue, bar that try a full factory reset after you've updated to the latest firmware. I updated my modem to the lastest firmware as soon as i took my modem out of the box and connected the modem up and my 5ghz is working fine! the only problems i'm having with it is the wifi is dropping out on it to frequently and the modem is getting incredibly hot under normal operation which it shouldn't be as technology doesn't like to much heat.
