What is this N600Adaptor-5G? Look for a model number on the side.
N600 tells us about wifi speeds, but not the Netgear model number.
You have posted your message in the section for R6000 Series AC WiFi Routers. Is there one of these in your system that you need help with? If so, which model?

I did get it to work on the 5G for a day or so. Then, by attempting to hook up a VOIP phone, I lost it again. 5G shows up as available along with the 2.4 but it is only running at 13Mbps. When it was running at a speed of 170+ only the 5G showed up and I could not see the 2.4,
So the inital problem is speed. Next, then, is the ability to connect my HP printer wirelessly.
I appreciate any input. Have tried everything I know to try including a reinstall.

We still don't know what you are talking about, especially the "N600Adaptor-5G".
Looks like some sort of SSID, but who knows?
Does the hardware have a model number?

I posted the model# on my reply earlier under 'model': WNDA3100. This is the adaptor. The actual router is AC1600 model C6250.
Sorry for confusion.
