@bidou So I bought my router new from Amazon the primary outlet for TP-Link and it worked great since March.  Then this past month in October my 5G 1 band started being flaky and then about a week ago it just stopped working all together.  I can connect to it but it keeps saying no internet.  So since my router was under warranty I contacted TP-Link and they ended up sending me another router.  When I opened the replacement I noticed it was a refurbished router but fine, I figure it was tested and repaired.  I hooked it up tonight and lo and behold 5G 1 is still having a similar problem.  It's still sort of connecting to the internet so not completely failing yet like my old router.  So now I'm thinking I'm going to send my old router back tomorrow as planned.  Contact TP-Link again and ask them for yet another RMA replacement to replace this faulty router they sent me. Since it's having the same issue I really wonder if this is some firmware glitch that jacked the 5G1 band on these routers.  Seems really stranged to me that they would exhibit the same symptoms.
