My EX6150v2 (firmware V1.0.1.76 )is suddenly no longer seeing my 5GHz network that I want to extend. 2.4GHz is working fine. My unit had been working fine since September 2018 without issue. I have performed a factory reset on the unit twice. The 2.4GHz that I want to extend is available in the Netgear Genie screen and works fine, but the 5GHz network SSID is absent from this screen. In fact I'm seeing a bunch of OTHER 5GHz networks, but not mine. I have tried to manually enter in the details of my 5GHz network, but it doesn't connect. Any ideas?
channel 132 is a dfs channel. I don't believe the ex6150v2 is compatible with dfs channels. If you can get your neighbor to change it back to the higher channels, it should work fine again. Shoot for channels 149-165.
5GHz from router I believe is on channel 132. There were some issues recently and the ISP came out and may have messed with it. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the router as it belongs to upstairs neighbors. That being said, I do not know how far the router is. I am able to jump on the main routers 5GHz network without any issue from my phone or desktop machine. I only wanted the extended network so I could have my own SSID.

Yep I think you’re right. I ended up getting an EX6250 and I am now able to see the DFS channel with that unit (after a firmware update). Although now I have a different issue for which I will open another thread. Thanks!
