AP50 no 5ghz channels

Hi,
I have an AP 50 which quite happily works on the 2.4ghz band, blue light on etc. The 5ghz band, no blue light.
In the same room as the AP50 are 3 5ghz phones.
I have checked the configuration and it shows 5ghz active, 100% and 4 channels available. It is assigned an SSID which works with the 2.4ghz band.
The log doesn't show anything obvious to me.
[:)]
Any ideas?

Thank you

Ian

Hi Ian,
the 5ghz band should be active, if you assign a 5ghz SSID (you can choose 2.4ghz and 5ghz, then both bands are available).
Greetings,
Andreas

Perhaps I didn't make my problem very clear.
I have the same SSID for both the 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz on the AP50.
The 2.4ghz band works, the 5.0ghz band doesn't.

Hi Ian

Maybe you have already performed this but did you use a SSID scanner to check whether it's indeed using 5GHz?

Thanks

Hi Wingman,
no, I haven't, not through lack of trying. I haven't been able to find a 5ghz scanner for any of my toys.
My work tablet has a scanner but it only does 2.4ghz.

I haven't been able to get any traffic through the 5ghz wifi.

Hi,
the AP does not "force" clients to use the 5ghz band if they are able to use it. You can create another SSID with 5ghz only, this should be a workarround to solve your problem.

inSSIDer also supports scanning 5GHz channels

Hi folks,
thank you all for your replies. I found the cause of my grief, failed to enable the SSID to use 5Ghz.
Now done will try it out when I get home.
