Windows 10: How to change the transmission channel of 5GHz wifi?

Good afternoon. I have at my disposal a computer with an intel ax 210 network card, a laptop with an intel ax 201 network card. due to the large number of neighbors, I can’t create a 5GHz Wi-Fi hotspot. The operating system reports that the specified range is not available. problem on both devices. Help, tell me where you can change the Wi-Fi transmission channel?

5Ghz WiFi Not Showing Up

I found the real solution! I changed the channel higher that previous channrl and boom! I can scan and connect 5Ghz WiFi!

 

Wifi channel

After finding what the channel is how do I get the computer to use that channel? I do not have an Auto on the Router.

I have a Netgear router, N750 WiFi Router, model WNDR4300

Some of my laptops connect at 5Ghz and others connect at 2.4Ghz. How can I get the ones that connect at 2,4Ghz to connect at 5Ghz.

Is there a way to put the channel in the computer?

We are actually hijacking the original post, but some of the info will assist the original poster.

Q;1, 2 & 4;

The channel setting is a router setting not OS, so it can not be stored on the computer, you Wireless setting page, should look something like the image below, the channel can be selected for each band in the relevant 'Channel' setting ( use arrow to change
channel) - then select 'Apply'.

The image is a copy of the relevant page of the manual for your router - Note; Before making any changes ensure you copy the current settings. Not all routers have a channel 'Auto' selection.

Q3;

On your laptops you can select which WiFi band to use (2.4 or 5GHz), by selecting 'Notification' icon on taskbar > select 'Network' and it should show list of networks available - see insert below;

The top one is my 5GHz network & the one below the 2.4GHz.

If you L/click on the required network, you will have the option to 'Connect' or Disconnect" - after making choice close 'Notification'

WiFi should be 'On' to carryout these actiions>

I hope the info / answers assist you with your router settings.
