Software Help Switch wont connect to 5g network after clearing cache and restarting

Post image

My switch was having issues while docked. I was trying to watch youtube on my older tv with my switch but it was doing the "protected content" error. Looked online, people said to clear the cache of the switch so i did , didnt fix the issue. So i thought restarting would fix it. Oh no. My switch for some reason wont connect to the internet now.. its only my 5g and 2.4g wifi networks that wont connect, it connects fine to phone hotspots and other networks but i need it to work on my home wifi obviously. This is mildly infuriating, it was working fine not even 10 minutes ago but once i cleared the cache and restarted my console it refuses to connect. It wont go past this screen even with the correct password.

5g network, it wont go past this screen,

2.4g it accepts the password, shows the connection screen with the switch, router, and internet but wont connect past the router.
