Nighthawk A7000 Can detect neighbors 5ghz networks but not my own!

My adapter has no issues on 2.4ghz. It will not pick up 5ghz band at all. I've tried different channels. Updated all software and firmware. 5ghz comes up on all other devices so its not a broadcasting issue. I'm lost... any advice would be appreciated.

    If your A7000 can see the neigbour's 5 GHz SSIDs and you have other devices that see your 5 GHz SSIDs, my instincts tell me that there is something odd going on in your 5 GHz source rather than in the A7000.

     

    What is it that sends out your 5 GHz?
