AC1900 WiFi Range Extender 2.4g work but 5g says no connection
So, i have the extender setup and 2.4g is connecting to the internet but 5g says no connection. I was on the latest firmware 1.0.1.112 but reverted back to an older version with no success. Any idea...
that "no connection" you see on the status page? That means there isn't a device (phone/tablet, etc) connected to the extenders 5ghz.

What is the ide reverting to an older firmware version please? Re-introducing security vulnerabilities or loosing the ability to use the simple basic https support added on .112?

Probably the 5 GHz band was not configured properly, or the existing WiFi router handling the 5 GHz band config was changed?

Next steps?
As usual here, factory reset the EX7000 to the default config, and reconfigure the unknown to us connections to the primary Wi-Fi router from scratch again. Consult the fine documentation FMI.
I have done the factory reset and updated back to the latest firmware, but it still only shows 2.4 as connected to the internet and not 5g
