Re: My 5g network doesn't show up

I have the N600 Wireless Dual Band router(WNDR3400v3), and I think the 5g used to show up... at least for a little bit, but not anymore. I've tried changing settings - disabling and reenabling them (specifically "Enable SSID Broadcast" it was checked by default, I unchecked, applied, then rechecked and applied), and changing the network name to see if that will work, but it just doesn't show up in network list... Is it broken?

Yeah, that's a single band adapter. There's no way the 5G network would have appeared on it. You must have imagined it. Or, perhaps, you gave your 5G network the same name as an old 2.4G network?

Re: My 5g network doesn't show up
Hmm, update: I just checked and the 5g band does show up on another device (iPhone), but not on my laptop, and my iPhone shows a lot more networks than my laptop does... So this is an issue with laptop, which is running Windows 10. Anyone know how to get it to show more networks or how to manually input the information to connect to that band?

Re: My 5g network doesn't show up
What's the model of your laptop? It's possible that it doesn't have a dual band Wi-Fi adapter.

Re: My 5g network doesn't show up
It has "Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 " and apparently it's not dual band adapter. Okay, that makes a little bit more sense, although not why it used to show up in the past... I guess something broke, but more likely the laptop which is older than the router. It's a Dell XPS 15.
