R7000P my 5g is not broadcasting
I was just browsing my phone's available wifi networks and noticed my 5G is not showing up. Now that I think about it, my desktop used to specify 5G and now it's connected to 2.4. I have no idea ...

Never heard of that one. Trailer is a riot! how times have changed!!!
... resulted in no change of behavior... my 5g network was still not broadcasting. (didn't know about light toggle at the time I wrote no change!!!)

I looked on their website for archived kits and couldn't find them on their website. The Download Center had a filter for model # and closest was R7000 but that's not good enough.
Given that, I decided not to do the upgrade during the work week. I work from home and can't risk anything going wrong. I will give it a go on the weekend.
Thanks for your help!

It is, as they say, a classic. The computer stuff is unrealistic,
but that's a near-universal problem in fiction.
