I miss the 5g life style

Hey guys, I've been having an issue connecting to my houses 5g network. We have fiber-optic, and I've been using it on my computer that I set up back in June. Two days ago, I suddenly couldn't find it in nearby networks, and could only connect to the house's 3g network. I really miss my crazy fast internet, and hope it can be fixed. It's just weird I cant find it at all after being connected with no issue for three months. I can see my neighbor's 5g networks. I suspect some funky firewall issues, but no rules are set against me. If I'm not supplying enough information, just ask and I'll help as much as I can. I'm tec savvy enough, but this one has me stumped. My wirless card is an ASUS PCE-AC68. Thanks for any help!
 
What router/service do you use?

I've had AT&T randomly reset their gateway appliance to defaults on a couple of occasions.

There is no such thing as 5G yet, as it has not been classified. 3G is pretty ancient, and the current is 4G LTE.

Assuming you aren't talking about cellular (what else would 3G mean?), but rather talking about the 5GHz network and 2.4GHz networks from your home router, I'd say a simple reboot would probably fix it if it just randomly stopped broadcasting. A firewall rule wouldn't prevent you from seeing the network, so if you can't see it something else is going on. If a reboot doesn't fix it, log into your router and check the configuration to see if it got disabled.

We use a local provider called SandyNet. I also realized in my original post I kept saying 3g and 5g but I meant 2.4ghz and 5ghz. If they did reset the appliance to default how could I fix it?

Have you tried simply rebooting your router first?
