My 5g network doesn't show up
I have the N600 Wireless Dual Band router(WNDR3400v3), and I think the 5g used to show up... at least for a little bit, but not anymore. I've tried changing settings - disabling and reenabling them (...

Yeah, that's a single band adapter. There's no way the 5G network would have appeared on it. You must have imagined it. Or, perhaps, you gave your 5G network the same name as an old 2.4G network?

What's the model of your laptop? It's possible that it doesn't have a dual band Wi-Fi adapter.

It has "Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 " and apparently it's not dual band adapter. Okay, that makes a little bit more sense, although not why it used to show up in the past... I guess something broke, but more likely the laptop which is older than the router. It's a Dell XPS 15.
