No connection to 5ghz channel on AC1600

After losing the connection my my AC1600 on all my devices I unplugged and plugged the router back in with no change. No network showed up, so I factory reset the router. I can now connect to the 2.4 GHz channel but not the 5 GHz channel. It will periodically show in my list of networks but won't connect to any device.

Any idea how to fix this?

It ended up being a motion activated light that killed the 5ghz band. With the light plugged in no network connection, light turned off everything is back to normal

Well spotted. Do you think it was down to RF interference?
