Your Samsung Grand Prime should be able to connect to either the 5 Ghz SSID or the 2.4 Ghz SSID. Look in the WiFi setting under Saved Networks and you should be able to Forget the network settings for those SSIDs and start fresh.

    Forget your stored wifi connections on the SSIDs and then reboot/restart your phone. Then try to reconnect.

      I'm beginning to think my phone is just too old to understand the "Smart Steering" of the modem (it's a T3200M).

        If you see 2 separate SSIDs from your router then smart steering is OFF.

    Thanks, I tried that - it just goes haywire. It flips and flops back and forth from one to the other without actually connecting to either no matter what I try. If I tell it to forget one it still shows up as available but won't connect.
