I installed WRT-DD onto my Linksys WRT1900acs, not 2.4ghz is visible by devices but 5ghz is not visible to devices, reverted back to stock firmware and both are visible so has to be something about WRT-DD

Most likely your settings while on dd-wrt, since you don't give any info, we will assume it's user error.

Sorry, new to all this had it set the same.

Network mode: Mixed
Security Mode: WPA2 Personal
Channel Width: 50MHz
Channel: 165 - 5.825GHz

Hope. This is enough info

I would start with say channel 36 and see if that works. I have also had issues with the 5GHz not showing up on devices at first. If I change the channel from say 36 to 149 then things work fine. Can then change to whatever channel I want then. It is like the 5GHz needs a little kick that first time. I usually use 149.

Hi, reloaded and set to channel 36 and bobs your uncle it is now viable, but if I change it if disappears again. Grrr this is a pain

[Leigh0274]

Right going up through the channels, I can get it to work up to channel 140, after that it disappears, strange but is working thanks myersw

Glad you have it working. Don't know what country you have the router set to. Is is possible that the higher channels are not allowed where you are? As an example 142 up are not allowed in Japan.

Keep in mind that the client also enters into this. Router could be broadcasting, but the client does not listen on the selected channel.

I got the same problem, it seem the router or may be the computer don't support automatic channels on ath1 (5ghz/Ac).
After I read your topic I set it to something around 50 and it worked perfectly, I can see the two hot spot (if it is the correct term)
Thank you
