Windows 10: 5ghz band of wifi randomly cuts out

So im using the 5ghz band of my wifi which is pretty fast most of the time and i prefer over 2.4ghz, but sometimes that band will just randomly cut out and im left offline until i reconnect to the 2.4ghz band. this is especially annoying when im gaming because i will just disconnect and have to reload the game because my 5ghz band is spotty.


i can use the 2.4ghz band without any interruptions, but its much slower than the 5ghz band and i would prefer using the 5ghz band when possible


any fixers? thanks!

5GHz Wifi

Hello. I want to connect to 5GHz wifi, but its not showing up in the connection list. I've done a bit of research and my laptop should be able to connect to the 5GHz band.

 

WINDOWS 10 WIFI 5GHZ BAND PROBLEM

hi greg..

already try that..

its not show band options..

i mention it already..

my wifi advanced tab only show this 3 option only..

1. D0 PACKETCOALESCING

2. NETWORK ADDRESS

3. ROAMING AGGRESSIVENESS

and its nothing problem with my ISP because my other phone and old laptop can view and connect to my router wifi 5ghz band.. i am using android phones and my old laptop running on windows 8.

only my new laptop using windows 10 now, and its cannot view the wifi 5ghz bandsignal automatically..

its only can view any wifi 5ghz band after i set the router wifi 5ghz band channel to 149..

i need its show wifi 5ghz band automatically, because i am fiber optic and broadband installer for the ISP here.. everyday i had many installation.

i cannot set all user router wifi channel to 149 because it will effect user equipment.. such as what happen with my laptop cannot view the wifi 5ghz band..

i think maybe its windos 10 or my laptop QUALCOMM ATHEROS QCA9377 WIRELESS ADAPTER problem.

because i cannot view or set wifi band in my wifi advanced tab here..
