Thanks, Ralph and KatolaZ. That was helpful info to learn. After moving around quite a bit during the experimentation, it's probably not a hardware or software problem per se unless a different channel works better or I can find a way to attach a better antenna.
It turns out to be that the environment has changed enough to affect the signal. Previously I was already at the maximum range with -91 dB at that spot because of a wall and distance. Since the last few days that particular spot has become blocked line of sight from the station by four thick pieces of foliage. Apparently it's enough to drop the already feeble 5GHz signal down into the "doesn't register" range for the hardware I have on either end. So while I don't have it solved yet, it is probably explained by external factors.
