Thanks for getting back to me! much appreciated!

My router is an AC1900 Smart WiFi Nighthawk. Model: R7000

The Firmware is version V1.0.11.126

By the way, I was able to get the 5G back on my network choices by changing the "SMART CONNECT" settings.

Is there anything else I need to do to maximize my connections?
