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?

Hello again,
long time, no response (from me). I finally got around to replacing my bad router and just finished installing the new one. The 5g-band is working. Just to prove im not crazy here is a link to a screenshot showing both the regular and the 5g band https://gyazo.com/88f974cd1b5623760119cafacec9b6ec
Thanks for your help in solving my router issue!
