7000p 5G issue

[Titanfall]

Hi I just bought a nighthawk 7000p and it was working fine until yesterday now I can connect to my 5G but it doesn't surf. 2.4 is fine. I had it changed to a custom name and a third one misspelled comes up sometimes.
It says it's up to date on the firmware.
So I did a hard reset on it and just tried to use the defaults and same thing. So sometimes what will show up in the list of wifi networks is

NETGEAR38
NETGEAR38-5G
NETGGAR3:-5G

At first I thought maybe it was compromised by someone but I've changed the admin password each time I factory reset so it doesn't make any sense.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

I'm having problems with my 5G radio too.

I'm getting 10 mbps download and 10 mbps + upload on 5Ghz

I get 98 mbps download and 10 mbps upload on 2.4Ghz

I also factory reset my unit and running default settings with the same results.

So now I have turned my 5Ghz radio using only my 2.4 Ghz radio.

Something seems to be defective with these radios?

It sure seems like it. Like I said I can connect to my 5G. It's pulling good ips. No surf on any device. I may bring it back but it looks like the 5G on these does some weird stuff.

Hi All,

What is the firmware version of the router? Make sure to update it.

[fredwhocares]

My firmware version is 1.01.15

I checked for newer firmware but it said I have the newest

Hi fredwhocares,

May I know where did you download the 1.0.1.15 firmware? We only have 1.0.1.14 FW in support site.
