5g Stopped Appearing as an available network on my devices
My R6700v3 has stopped broadcasting the 5g network on all my 5g capable devices. 5g Light on router is lit solidly ( not blinking) but network is no where to be found to connect to. I noticed this within the last few days, but before that everything worked. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I followed all the instructions on this thread and still nothing https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Wi-Fi-5-AC-Routers/5G-Stopped-appearing-on-my-devices-as-an-available-network-5g/td-p/1643239

What firmware is on it?
Did you try a factory reset?
what all did you try doing?
Firmware- v1.04.128
I did the unplug/plug back in thing, the full factory reset, i contacted my provider to make sure there was nothing wrong with my service (they directed me to check with you about the router), ive tried everything i could.
Here's the weirdest development- after the factory reset, its showing my TV as connected to the 5g network, but nothing else at all, and it still doesn't give me the option to connect anything else when i check wifi on all other devices.
What modem/gateway are you connected to ?
what happens if you change the ssid for the router?
Are you using smart connect
