    I changed the channel of my 5 GHz from 36 to 153,

    changed 2.4GHz to 12,

    then my macbook pro is able to connect and search the 5GHz SSID, 

    maybe I lived in a building apartment, 

    too many channel are interferred together,

    so my iphone can connect but macbook doesn't.

    You should check your area with the same channel,

    it may affect your connection.

     

    Thanks for you guys support. 

    I sort it out eventually

I m using 1.0.5.70__1.1.91 offical firmware,

security is WPA2 personal,

the router connected to 1000mbps fiber optic modem from ISP.

Currently , I set the schedule to auto reset at 3:00am daily,

I can find the 2.4GHz netgear SSID.

First I need to connect to 2.4GHz netgear SSID

Then the 5 GHz will appeared later on.

so basically I m connecting 2 times everytime for my connection

If you're using smart connect, disable it.
