Done and correct, the 5g isn’t even showing up, even though it is definitely in range.

You need to connect via Ethernet cable and access the configuration of the modem and turn on the Broadcast for the SSID.

Make sure some one has not changed the name too.

how would I do that?

Does the modem broadcast the WiFi signal or the router?

I honestly don’t know, I can say that other devices can find the 5g, even my regular network card can discover it. The only thing that can’t is my ASUS USB-AC68.

Also, due to this error.

What speeds are you getting, I am curious?
This is a fairly accurate test.
Post a screen shot of the test result.
Are you connected directly to the router, or a Wifi Extender/Booster?
How far away are your from the router – extender?

While trying to run Interactive Service Detection I was met with “Error 1:”

Alright, that may be due to the Tool we used at first to disable some services. Another service may be disabled that is required, some services depend on each other. For now lets have a look at some speed test and see if this connection stays stable. Cause if it is working and you are getting speeds that are adequate for your task then we should leave well enough alone. The thing is with computers it is a constant opening of multiple cans of worms.

I am unsure of how to post my results but it was about 5.7Mbps. When it was connected to 5g this morning it was about 300 Mbps

Run the speed test on one of the systems that connects to the 5g and post.

I posted a link to the use of the snipping tool…

Anyhow, lets go back to the Easy Service Optimizer tool we used at the start.
Place a tick back on default. Then click the rocket.
Note: You may need to apply the setting to the WLAN AutoConfig service; I think it is off by default.
Then try and start the Interactive Service Detection and reboot the machine.
Then test the connection.
Side Note: The static IP MAY be lost during this process, check on that before you test the speed.

Edit:

Are you connected directly to the router, or a Wifi Extender/Booster?
How far away are your from the router – extender?
How many other devices are connected to the same network?
Phones Etc. Each item that is connected is going to soak bandwidth and also speed.
A true test would be with all other devices shut off including all phones etc.
If you have many other people in your home then you will never get full speeds; especially from wireless.

I do not see WLAN AutoConfig anywhere
