NightHawk X6 R8000 Only shows 1 SSID

Earlier this morning there were 3 SSIDs, the 2.4 GHz and the Two 5 GHz SSIDs. After coming home I noticed all the SSIDs were missing from my avaliable connections and I was forced to reset my router. Now after resetting my router, it only displays 1 SSID. The LEDs for the 5GHz are on, I have the latest Firmware, I've also gone through multiple resets as a attempt to fix this problem. The Router settings are checked to broadcast the two 5Ghz SSIDs and the Wireless radio is also enabled. However they still do not appear on the list of connections

  • I just purchased a new Netgear X6 R8000 router and ya been working. Looks like my previous one was broken or something. Current one is working perfectly fine.

    check the smart connect setting and also check the radio on off button(s) on top

  • Smart Connect is checked Off, 2.4GHz is only visible commection, however this morning only one of the 5GHz bands was visible before disappearing again. I also noticed that the 5Ghz LEDs on the router aren't blinking white
