I haven’t made any changes to my hAP AC configuration, but now the wireless functionality doesn’t work. The cable internet works plugged directly into the modem, and wired into the hAP AC. Wireless no longer works. Both wlan 1 and 2 should fail at the same time, correct?

How do you know it does not work ?
Error messages ?
What indications do you see ?
With which clients ?
First: remove
/interface detect-internet
set detect-interface-list=all
For most it brings more trouble then it solves.
Secondly, set your frequency to a known value. Don’t use auto. You don’t know what it will choose.
Use frequency scanner in wireless section to search for least occupied frequency.
You have DHCP client on ether5 enabled ? So are you using this port as WAN ?
In that case ether5 shouldn’t be part of a bridge… You get warning in firewall rules about that and in dhcp client
Are you trying to use your hap as switch/ap ?
Correct observation but the DHCP client will simply not work then.
Which makes me think this did not happen all of a sudden.
Someone is not telling the complete story, I believe.
How do you know it does not work ?
I did a series of standard troubleshooting by switching out the attached ethernet cables and coaxial cables.
- Laptop works connected directly to modem via Ethernet
Laptop works connected to Mikrotik router via Ethernet
No devices in home work via Wi-Fi anymore after testing
Secondly, set your frequency to a known value. Don’t use auto.
I have applied an exact frequency to each wlan now.
You have DHCP client on ether5 enabled ? So are you using this port as WAN ?
I’m not sure why DCHP was on Ether 5. I was messing in the settings, so it should be removed now.
Are you trying to use your hap as switch/ap ?
Using MikroTik as AP for modem.
Here is simplified code after removing all the testing I did (might have forgotten a setting or two)

How come time is dead wrong on your device ?
Use IP cloud to get time (no need to use ddns part).
Should be good enough.
Where is fixed frequency in that simpified config ? I don’t see anything.
If your device is acting as AP for modem, you don’t need DHCP server provided your modem is … a router.
What type of modem are we talking about ?
PS I edited your post again.
When posting config, remove your serial.
If your device is not exposed to the WWW, it will not harm that much.
But it if does, bots can get your serial, construct your ddns name and have fun attacking your network.
I’m not sure why the time and date are always wrong.
I’m not sure why it doesn’t show that I set my frequencies to 2412 and 5180. I used export file=[name] to create.
My modem is an Arris Surfboard SB6183, so I don’t think it is a modem/router combo. I use my MikroTik router for the wireless functionality. Recently though, in efforts to troubleshoot internet connectivity problems, the wireless functionality has ceases entirely. I didn’t edit anything in the router, only physical reboots.
isn’t ip 192.168.1.1 usually belong to the modem ? just set mikrotik with different ip, and remove mikrotik dhcp server, let modem handle it
Like this one ?
https://www.surfboard.com/products/cable-modems/sb6183/
It should have default IP 192.168.100.1.
Which makes me think it does (limited) DHCP.
Which ethernet port is connected to that modem ?
Remove from bridge and add dhcp client to it.
Does it get an IP address ?
If not, add IP address to the port in 192.168.100.0/24 range (take .10 or so).
Also add route for 0.0.0.0/0 to 192.168.100.1
Are you sure your setup worked before ? And you did not do any changes to it which made it stop working ?
Since your config is pretty limited, you can also factory reset your device and see what that gives.
PS and you still have this ??
/interface detect-internet
set detect-interface-list=all
Agree, you can try to restore default configuration and use Mikrotik as your router if you want, only problem I see here could be double NAT, never had cable only DSL and that could be solved by puting your ISP router into bridge mode if your ISP wants to do that.
I also have double NAT at home.
Never gave me any problems.
For most users that “problem” is way overrated.
I agree, had double NAT at my old location and never had a problem but I wanted to warn OP of that possibility.
@kdods22402
Also, you removed ports 2-4 from the bridge, any particular reason for that ?
You don’t have any firewall rules also, why ?
As he indicated, simplified config.
Reset to default config will solve that 
(but I don’t think it will be a big issue since the modem will already stop most incoming communication, from what I see in user manual. Very little you can do on that thing).
Well in that case read this: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?p=905809&hilit=configuring+switch%2Fap#p905809
Even if you decide to simply use your Mikrotik as a router this could be helpful in the future
