The problem fixed when i upgraded to lastest firmware and reset the router.
Maybe you can try to reset the router after upgrade the firmware

Re: RAX120 5G wifi suddenly missing

Hi - I commented on a similar thread earlier... but can you confirm whether WiFi Smart Connect is enabled? This will only display a single SSID for both your 2.4 and 5ghz networks.

 

Under the "connected devices" GUI for the router it will show you which devices are connected to wired, 2.4, or 5ghz.

I am having the exact same issue. I have to switch to 2.4 then back to 5ghz. in order for visibility to return. I have AX mode disabled as well. I believe I have the newest FW version.
