  1. How to stop my 5G connection switching back to the slower 2G one?


    Using Windows 10. I have a modem and router with two networks - one 2Ghz and the router at 5Ghz.

    The 5Ghz one is obviously much faster. I want to keep that one on all the time, but every 1-2 days I notice my network has changed back to the slower one.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    I know it's possible to disable the 2Ghz one. My only worry is, since I work from home, if the 5Ghz network goes down while I'm working, I want the other one to be available.

    Thanks!

    :)
