SH5 No 5Ghz showing up!

Hey!

So just received my SH5 upgrade (Thanks VM 🙂 )

Connected it all up, easy quick swap and sets itself up nicely.

So far web pages seem more snappy to load, One thing I've noticed in the settings is for some reason you cannot change the name of the two different Wifi bands, On the SH3 you could name 2.4Ghz something different from the 5GHZ band so you can see them both when looking at wireless devices on your phone, But on SH5 it automatically names both 2.4 and 5Ghz channels the same name with the option to change the 5Ghz channel name greyed out.

But the bigger issue is, I actually have NO 5Ghz showing at all even though its enabled in the hub.

I've tried my Phone, An all in one PC, Laptop etc all which are 5Ghz capable and the 5Ghz band is not showing up on any of these devices...only the 2.4Ghz are.

Appreciate any help 🙂

Try a pin hole reset of the hub, it has been known to fix the odd problem.

Sorted,

If you change the name on the 2.4Ghz band in Advanced settings -> Wireless-> Security it then un greys out the 5Ghz band as well. Not sure why they did this on the SH5 as it didn't do it on the SH3. 🙂
