Can't connect laptop to 5 GHz home wi-fi. Does my laptop support 5 GHz wi-fi?

It makes no difference to Windows what frequency band you use, because the frequency band is a function of your LAN, not Windows.

To use the 5 GHz frequency band, you need three elements:

1- a router that supports the 5GHz band;

2- a WiFi adapter that supports the 5 GHz band; and

3- a Windows 10 driver for your WiFi adapter.

If you have #1 and #2, the next step is to select the SSID of your 5 GHz band when you connect to your LAN. If doing this doesn't let you connect, you have to check that you have #3. If you do, and you;re still having problems, you need to contact the manufacturer
of your WiFi adapter.

 

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?
