Cannot get a 5.0 network to work!

I have successfully partitioned my network (2.4 works great!) but I cannot get the 5.0 partition to work. I have deleted and recreated the network multiple times, checked all settings, passwords etc. but no luck. The multi speed network works great but it might just be connecting to 2.4 and therefore not alerting me of any error. Anyone else seeing this? Any advice would be great from someone who's 5,0 partition stuck. 

  • That’s funny the same thing my 5ghz T-Mobile Internet that I just got says it’s not in range when I can’t be but 15 feet away not even maybe 10 feet away

    Is that 10 to 15 feet away through a wall with lots of wiring or a concrete or brick wall?  Are there other things close by that might be interfering with the signal, like a microwave?

  • Absolutely not just a thin, not even quarter inch cheap old plywood and 2 x 2 studs.. 

     

    nothing close by because everything else works. It was funny read it and then it quit. It's almost like the 5 GHz died.

  • I actually moved the tmo router right next to the tv (the device that will not read the 5.0, along with others) and it still won't recognize the 5G partition.

     

    Also, since switching to tmo, I am getting buffering more often while streaming, along with pausing, freezing up and VERY slow speeds.

    That might be a limitation of your at.  Can it see the 2.4GHz and connect to that fine?  What is your security/encryption set at?  If it's set to AES/TKIP or just TKIP, set it to AES only.
