CAX30 no 5ghz transmitting

[itsnotadel]

Hello,

I've had the CAX30 which has been a pain in the butt since I first got it. I come back from a week-long vacation, and don't see my 5ghz network. In the browser GUI, there is a red dot on the 5ghz network. I check the router itself and there is no light for 5ghz. I updated to the latest 2.2.1.12 firmware and it didn't help. What else can I do? Otherwise what have people been switching to from this device, it has been a big disappointment.

Mods please close.

If anyone sees this. Spectrum had an outage earlier in the day for me apparently when I didn't arrive home yet. 

Final solution, update FW to latest, and then reset the device. Pain in the butt to reconfigure my port forwarding options, but that's what fixed it.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
