Re: EX6150v2 no longer sees 5GHz network

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.

Also adding that I am able to connect to my 5GHz without any issue from other devices.

Re: EX6150v2 no longer sees 5GHz network
What channel is your main router 5ghz channels on? Have you changed those recently?
You don't list your model router or firmware on it?
Firmware on the EX6150?
I'd try changing your main routers 5ghz wifi channel. How far from your router is the extender? Size area its covering?
