EX6120 5GHZ Won't Work
I have the EX6120 Wifi extender and for some reason it will no longer connect to the 5GHZ network I have set-up, I've just about 10 mins ago did a complete reset of the networks and I can still conne...
The only other thing I'd try is resetting the router back to factory.
It's December 2021 and I have the same problem... 5GHz band is grayed out in the browser status page.
Funny thing is, when I first connected both channels via WPS instructions, both 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels worked. It was originally on either v1.0.0.24 or 44... can't remember. I made the mistake up upgrading the firmware to V1.0.0.66_1.0.40 when prompted (for security fixes).
PROBLEM:
My 5GHz channel no longer allows my devices to get an IP address even though connection status is "Connected".
NEXT STEPS:
1. Can I downgrade back to the original version? Factory reset does not revert to that version.
2. Is there a fix or configuration that will allow the 5GHz to connect to the internet?
Thanks
