About half of devices on my home was connected via 5ghz, and one day suddenly i got info on All od them "there is no wifi". I tried to connect different devices and everytime is the same - i have to put laptop/mobile next to the router (or even on router) to have any info about the 5ghz wifi. 1m from router there is no more signal.

Have you tried changing the wifi channel? 

Tried a factory reset? 

Or even reinstalling the firmware, then doing a factory reset?

    If you've tried different firmwares, doing a hard reset, and its still doing the same thing then the wifi radio on the 5ghz has gone bad.
