  1. How do I change my wifi drive from 2.4 ghz to 5.0 ghz?


    I've tried to go into device manager, find the drive, properties, and everything I've seen said to find set preferred and it doesn't show that. I didn't build it, I bought it off a friend and can't reach him currently. When I am playing games the pc sometimes disconnects from the wifi and reboots back up. It came with a NETGEAR A7000 WiFi USB3.0 Adapter that has 5 ghz, but the wifi driver in the computer itself stays at 2.4 ghz.

    5 gHz Wifi

    I installed a new Cable Modem Router that has dual band, 2.4 gHz and 5 gHz wifi. Everything works fine on my cell phones but when I connect to the new wifi, my computer does not see the 5 gHz wifi. I am using Windows 10 on a HP Pavilion g6. The computer
    is more than 5 years old. Is there a way to get the computer to recognize the 5 gHz wifi, which is more reliable than the 2.4 gHz?
     
  3. Lumia 950 can't detect 5 Ghz WIFI

    Hi

    I had the same issue that my Lumia 950 could not see 5 GHz wifi network.

    Found out that Lumia could not connect to 5 GHz wifi with higher 5 GHz Channels. My router had channel 157 as default.

    Changed wifi settings of 5 GHz network to use Channel 36 and it works now.
