Network Monitor not tracking wireless with 5ghz off
As it says in the title, the OS does not recognize any data flow with 5ghz disabled. I have no need of 5ghz so I keep it off but 2.4ghz is on and my mobile is connected to it. Also, the Device Manager shows my wireless as being offline on the Network Map. What gives? If I could suggest, a simple solution to this would be to seperate the wireless into the two wavelengths.

AC1900 Doesn't Connect to 5ghz
Hi, my AC1900 randomly stopped connecting to my 5ghz Uverse router. The 2ghz works perfectly and I've reset the router and extender several times. After every full re-set the 5ghz works for some period of time but routinely stops working. I'm able to connect to the regular 5ghz so I know the router itself is working but the extender is unable to pick it up and extend it. As the 5ghz is mich more powerful, this is affecting many of my applications. Any tips? Thanks!DHCP not working when connected to 5Ghz on EX7000 extender
I have a weird issue with DHCP on the 5Ghz band. I am using the EX7000 as an extender to a CISCO E4200 which is the DHCP server. I extend both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. I have configured the DHCP server for a reduced range of address (a.b.c.100 to a.b.c.130) On the Cisco, I can connect any device at will on the 2.4 or 5.8 Ghz networks. On the Netgear Ex7000 extander, it is more tricky. On the 2..4 Ghz, i can connect any device on the extender and it will be assigned an address within seconds. On the 5 Ghz band, it is more unreliable. If I force a device to move from the 2.4 Ghz SSID to the 5 Ghz one, most of the time, the DHCP request will timeout after a minute or so and revert back to 2.4 Ghz. SOmetimes it will work. Any idea how to get that to work ? Both the Cisco Router and the EX7000 are loaded with the latest firmware available.
Force 5ghz Channels
I'm having a problem with one iphone 6 which has a damaged wifi. I would like to try and force the phone to use only the 5ghz frequency if possible to test if just a particular antenna is bad in the phone. So, since I don't see any clear ways to set my router to only use the 5ghz frequency, can someone guide me in setting it up? I only have iphones connecting to the wifi which all have 802.11ac capabilites, so I should be able to force it onto one frequency or another. As you can see from the clip below, it is running at 2.462 frequency. I've unchecked ' Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence' already, and Channel 11 is clear in my area. Any thoughts and ideas are appreciated. Is this router even capable of running only 5ghz frequency, or do I need to buy a 802.11ac wifi router? This is just for testing, so I'd prefer not to have to purchase a new router if I can avoid it. Below is a snippet of what a wifi channel scanner sees.
