Router connection
My router won’t connect to my 5g network
1. The router doesn't connect to the network, it broadcasts the network.
2. what router do you have?
3. what device are you trying to to connect to 5ghz?
4. Details are key, its tough to help without fully knowing whats going on.
So sorry I hv model number R8000 and yes I’m trying to connect to 5ghz. It connects to the extender I hv but not the router
So you have an R8000.
Still struggling to make sense of this as you say it connects to the extender but not the router.
The r8000 doesn't connect to a router?
Or what isn't connecting to the router?
Is this another router?Again, please stop being brief. Go over your full setup, what you're trying to do, and where in the process its failing. Just saying it doesn't work, doesn't tell us anything.
I have the AR 8000 router I put in a factory reset to set up the network again because it would not connect to my 5Ghz network. when I put it back to the factory reset it showed the 5G Netwerk in my Wi-Fi setting the router just would not pick it up. It picked up the 2.4 GHZ not the 5G. I have a Wi-Fi extender when I switched over to the Wi-Fi extender It was using the 5GHZ network. I’m just trying to get my router to connect to my 5Ghz and not the 2.4 GHz
