R9000 5Ghz Radio not enabled although LED showing enabled. 5Ghz Radio not working

My R9000 has the latest firmware (V1.0.2.40), but 5GHz radio not functioning.  The 5GHz radio is enabled within the Wireless Settings menu, with SSID enabled and no schedule, but 5GHz signal does not appear available.  LED reflects 5GHz radio is working, but Advance tab in menu reflects disabled.  No SSID is showing available to any 5GHz clients.  Also, I have a R7000 within the environment, which the 5GHz radio is functioning properly and showing accessible by 5GHz clients within the environment.   Any ideas why this radio is not functioning?

this is a strange one...have you tried to do a hard reset to see if that clears things up?

If Adewale's good idea does not work, try turning the wifi switch on the device on and off.

 

I have seen earlier reports here of the physical switch overriding the internal wifi settings.

Thanks Adewale, that is exactly what I did and the issue seems to have been resolved.
I was a bit worried after spending so much on this device and after 6 months I could not get phone support without paying fees.
At any rate, I do appreciate your response and the suggested advice.

Well done. You might like to mark Adewale's suggestion as the solution. In that way later victims can home in on the advice more quickly.
