Devices work on 5G1 but not 5G2

 I'm having issues with my 5G bands. My LG G8 mobile phone works fine on both. My daughters computer works perfect on 5G1 but has problems on 5G2. My Ipad Pro and Notebook work perfect on 5G1 but will not connect at all on 5G2 (while being 5 ft from the router.)

My wifes laptop wont connect to either 5G radios. 

PLEASE HELP :smileyfrustrated:

PS: I noticed 5G1 uses 2 digit chanel numbers and 5G2 uses 3 digit chanel numbers)

    You think your router is the cause of these problems rather than your wifi clients?

      I dont know what it is. Why would my devices work on 5G1 but not 5G2? Settings are identical on both except for SSID name, Password & channel, as I stated.
