HT2000W's 5Ghz radio not working.
I noticed in the past that the 5Ghz radio never showed up as a connection option in my laptop, nor in my notebook. Today, I actively tried connecting both my laptop and notebook, and even my TV, to ...
Okay. Update.
The neighbors have a newer Lenovo Thinkpad that most definitely does have the ability to connect using the 5Ghz band. It was brought over. It turns out my modem is fine. It connected without issue. We didn't really try anything with it other than just going to Google and doing a quick search. That was enough, though.
I feel like a schmuck. LOL. :(
I figured I would try to completely restore my router to see if that would help. I used the default WiFi settings with the default SSID and a random password. I did a few speed tests and they all seamed higher. I was entering quota limits for all my devices from a screenshot prior to restore and ended up having to restore to a backup file which I made before restoreing the router because I did not reconize a MAC address. Speed tests are back in the 20's. After I get everything wrote down I am going to do another complete restore and then manually enter everything and hopefully my speeds are all higher.
Check out this speed test that I got.....

Holy smokes! If only that were a legitimate Hughesnet speed. Can you imagine? :)
I was having the same problems and made one change to get it working. (Apologies if the solution has already been posted.)
I simply changed the WPA Mode to "WPA/WPA2"
and
Security Type to "WPA-Personal"
It's now visible to all my devices (new and just a little "old").
