5G radio SSID name changed.....I didn't change it
So, about a week ago, our 5g-connected wireless devices began losing their wireless connections intermittently, usually momentarily but a few times it was for more than a couple of minutes. This means no streaming and an unhappy husband. Today I spent some time trying to troubleshoot and began seeing a network named "BROADCOM" on the same MAC address as the 5G radio on my RAX28 router.
Can anyone tell me what's going on? How do I disable the 5G radio until I can sort things out?
Thanks for any help.
[EDIT]: The default SSID was NETGEAR47-5G. I never changed it from that default name.

You should be able to log into it then and change it back.
Maybe the firmware updated and caused the change

Log into the routers web page and change it back there using a PC or laptop and web browser.
