Hi, I just bought the GL-B1300. It’s a great router with awesome features, but one thing is frustrating me. I can’t seem to find and connect to the 5G WiFi.
I’ve checked many times in the Admin Panel that it’s turned ON and visibility to SHOWN. The 2.4G WiFi and the 2.4G Guest Wifi is visible, but not the 5G WiFi.
I checked on my Lenovo Windows laptop, and Samsung S10e phone. Both can’t seem to find the 5G WiFi.
This happens on the latest stable firmware 3.027. I’ve also tried to upgrade to 3.104, but it’s still happening.
Can you check the band 5G wifi is using? Change it to another value and check.
One more thing, did you ever change country in the 2.4G or 5G wifi? Pls do not change country. When you change country of 2.4G, 5G wifi also get affected.
If you mess up the config, do a “revert firmware” and clean everything it should be fine.
If the above does not work, pls ssh to the router and get log using
I wasn’t even aware of country settings in the Admin Panel ^^;
Do you mean the Time Zone? I did change that one because it says that the time differs from browser, so I synced it. Should I turn that back to UTC?
Ah ok, I assume you mean I should use OpenWRT version 19.07. And currently GL-B1300 is still on 15.05…? I didn’t notice. That’s seems to be pretty old.
That is very cool. Will it come to GL-B1300? And will I be able to use my own NextDNS configuration?
Or is there another recommended way I can use NextDNS with GL-B1300 for the time being?
