5ghz has vanished on all devices apart from one (technicolor DWA0120)
My phone attaches to the 5ghz channel and also the 5ghz on the range extender but our other 3 devices can't see the 5ghz. How do I enable full visibility of the 5ghz? There is a pic attached of the router I have, can anyone heklp me?
go to netgear.com/support/ type in your extender model number. it'll take you to the support site for your device with manual, firmware, troubleshooting.
Do your devices see the technicolor 5ghz? if they don't see the technicolor or the netgear, they're probably not 5ghz capable.

ya sure wait once i finish my daily work after that will loot into this
well if those devices don't support 5ghz, they won't be able to see it or use it.
What devices are those that can't see the 5ghz?

Its not how old something is, its what does it support.
And you'd need actual model numbers. moto made a few g smart phones, hp laptop could have anything in it for chipset, and there's different generations/models of the fire tablet.
