Does my router support 5 GHz Wi-Fi? How do I connect to its 5 GHz Wi-Fi?

If you have enabled the feature that prioritizes 5 GHz on your router, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks will share the same network name and you will be automatically connected to the faster network. If this feature is disabled, two Wi-Fi network names will be displayed. Connect to the Wi-Fi network ending with "_5G". You can manage this feature in your router's web-based management page.

If you are experiencing any other issues with the router:
