    Help Icon can't see new 5ghz WIFI, saw old one fine

    My ISP upgraded my modem to a Arris TG1672, which to my surprise is insanely fast (100Mbps down) on 5ghz wifi. For some reason my Icon doesn't see the 5ghz wifi, only the 2.4ghz. Icon saw 5ghz on my old Asus rt56u router fine. I've tried adjusting router 5ghz channel to 20mhz, a/b/g/n, etc...

    Root Rooting Hydro Icon

    Since the kitkat update on the Boost Hydro Icon no rooting methods work. It seems everyone who got them to work (rootgenius) rooted before the update. I wonder if I do a factory reset on my phone it will revert to pre-kitkat so I can root, then update keeping the root.
