You're Welcome!
Try a factory default reset ...push reset until power LED flashes this will reset all user settings and use defaults listed on router label, if these defaults don't work you may have a hardware problem which means replace the router.

Hi,
Thank you for helping with trying to solve my router issues. First, I seem to have given you the wrong router model (even though the correct one won't show up when i attempt to put it in the model specification). I have an R6220, not an R6100. Regardless, i read page 117 and figured the part you wanted me to read was the part on the devices not being able to find the network. I attempted both pressing the wi-fi button on the router until the wifi light turned on and disabling and renabling the SSID broadcast for the 5g network to no avail. Any other potential solutions?

Alright,
Factory reset didnt fix it, but this morning, i decided to move my computer into the room with my router and connected it via ethernet and the network its using for that is the 5G one.
