Re: Cannot connect on 5GHz

I have a WNDR3400 and a WN2500RP both show up on my laptop but the 5 GHZ light does not go on. I can see the extender on the laptop and it connects to my network but I have trouble connecting to the extender. I can connect directly using wireless to network an I connecting via the extender?

Re: Cannot connect on 5GHz

I am having this problem too.  I am trying to connect to a R6100.

 

This also fails to manintain a connection even at non-5G, in the SAME room.  I have over a dozen devices all on either normal or 5G in house working fine, so it's not the router...

 

I see this has been an ongoing support issue for years with little/no support from Netgear.  I purchased this one in particular to make things "easy" since my router was netgear.  But, alas no.  So, thanks to Amazon Prime, it goes back and I switch maufacturers....
