If that does not work it could be the 5ghz network has failed altogether.

Thanks Darren. I switched to an earlier firmware. No success. I switched it back to the most current firmware. 5G showed up and actually connected. Once I started walking away from the router (about 20 ft), it disconnected and disappeared. Unfortunately, warranty is out. I've had it for 16 months. Any other ideas?
