Not connecting to router 5G

Model: RE305  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

The extender had a period of not being used. When I plug it back in; it is only picking up the 2.4GHz signal and the blue light for the 5GHz does not come on. 

There has been a change in my house setup that is; I have a new internet provider and have gone from broad band in Australia to the NBN network. The router has remained the same.     I have followed the instructions for pressing the WPS buttons on both the router and the extender but this has not worked. I want resetting my router and nbn to be the last resort as I do not want to disrupt the household set up if at all possible, as it is working well. Really appreciate help for me to connect to 5GHz network.

Cause the RE305 is a dual band extender, you need press the WPS button twice to build up connection of 2.4GHz and 5GHz both.

 

You can ghive it a go;

 

Or you can login to the web UI of the RE305 and use the main router's wifi password to set it up manually. Instruction as below:
