2nd Wifi Access?
I recently got a new modem. I previously had access to 2 Wifis a 2.5 and 5.0. Now I don't know how to access my 2nd wifi.
One of my wifi just show a lot of letters and numbers and I'm not sure how to access it.
Does anyone know how I can find it in the setup?
It could be yours. But it isn't 5ghz if you have the wnr1000.

I think your old modem was a modem/router combo device and was the one broadcasting dual band.
Reason I say that is the WNR1000v2 that you listed is a single band n150 device. It isn't dual band.
so unless you have a different router, you're not going to see dual band.
What modem did they replace it with?
My Previous modem was a Model TG1682G Arris
My New Modem is Motorola MB7420 16x4 686mbps DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
My router is putting out 2 signals because there is one wifi available that has a long series of numbers and letters when I set up my modem and router. I don't know how to set it up on the Netgear Smart Wizard.

Your wnr1000 is a single band n150 device. not sure where the other band is or whats broadcasting it but its only a single band device. Should you want to use 5ghz, you'd need to upgrade to a better router.
