Network - Wireless & Wired Connections

[Jerryri]

My new stick + does not see Verizon 5ghz option even though my iPhone, iPad, etc. see the 5ghz option and have no problem connecting to it.

The name of the 5ghz option is the same as the 2.4ghz option except for -5g at the end of it.

Any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I was able to fix this myself by entering into the router gui and disabling DFS channels.  Once I did that, the Roku Stick + found the 5ghz wifi option.

I have a similar problem with roku streaming stick+ and cannot see 5GHZ.  My router doesn't support DFS though so I don't think that can be it. :-(

Sorted it. Changed the 5 GHz config on my router to a fixed channel instead of auto. Channel 36.
