5G Completely Gone From Router
So just the other day all of my electronics connected to 5G were dropped from the internet at the same time. Long story short the 5G wifi was no longer on my wifi list and after checking further, the...
You're right. You only took a snip of the 2.4ghz section. Nothing else. Doesn't tell us a whold lot.
Did you try a simple factory reset and reinstall?
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on. Then reinstall it.
What other section would be helpful?
My intention of the snippet was to show that the 2.4 ghz section is the only thing under wireless. There is no 5ghz.
I did a factory reset twice.
What exactly is a reinstall?

You might try reloading the firmware manually. (And resetting and
reconfiguring.)
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Downloads. (For older versions, under Firmware and Software
Downloads, look for "View Previous Versions".) Find the kit(s).
Download the kit(s) you want. Read the "Release Notes" file for
instructions. (In the User Manual, look for "firmware", and,
especially, for a topic like "Manually Upload Firmware to the Router".)
When that fails because of a deficient User Manual, try:But, it's also possible that the 5GHz radio module has failed, and
the management web site isn't showing you any 5GHz stuff because the
router's not finding any itself.> I've only gone as far as the reset. [...]

You're welcome. I'll bite. Who's "the assistant"?
