My linksys extender is connecting to the 2G band but not able to find 5G band of my router so how do i configure my 5G band?
In order to do that follow these steps:
- Try to configure the 5G Band manually
- try to use site survey option after login into the extenderโs settings
- try to change the wifi channels for the 5G band on the main router
- Try to reset the Extender and reconfigure it again
Step 1:
Access theextender'sย web-based setup page.
Step 2:
Click theย Wirelessย tab.
Step 3:
Under theย Basic Wireless Settingsย sub-tab, selectย Manual.
Step 4:
For theย Extender, select aย Wireless Bandย and aย Network Mode.
Step 5:
For the Linksys Wi-Fi Routers, you may enable either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, or both by setting theย Network Modeย to your desired standard (i.e. Mixed, Wireless-N Only, etc.).
Step 6:
Enter aย Network Name (SSID).
Step 7:
For Network Mode selectย Mixedย orย Wireless-N Only, then selectย Autoย on the Channel Width option.
Step 8:
Select aย Wireless Channelย from the drop-down list.
Step 9:
Set theย SSID Broadcastย toย Enabledย to broadcast your 2.4 and 5 GHz networks. ย Then, clickย Save Settingsย to apply changes.
In this case you can try these steps :

- Try to configure the 5G band by doing the site survey from the extender's dashboard.
- Try to configure the extender from a different location where 5G wifi range available.

- Make sure that the main router's 2.4G and 5G band names are separate
There are different troubleshooting steps that we can try which are as follows:-
