  3. Why doesn't my laptop find 5GHz network?

    Hei, I have been trying to find a solution for this, but haven't found anything helpful, so I am sorry if I have missed something, and I hope someone can help me out.

    I have recently gotten a new internet, which has a 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wifi, but the problem is that my computer does not recognize or find 5GHz in my network list. And the 2.4GHz wifi is too slow to use.. I have a 60mbps internet, but only get around 2-5mbps
    internet in my room (same with the rest of my family), however, on my iPhone I am connected to the 5GHz, which gives me almost full speed.

    When I do a "Netsh wlan show drivers" command on CMD, I see that my computer has 802.11n, which I believe supports 5GHz? But then I don't understand how I can't find the 5GHz network on my network list.

    Would really appreciate if someone could help out!

    My laptop cant handle 5ghz network

    5GHz WiFi network not detected in Windows 10 in Bootcamp

    Hi,

    Windows 10 Pro does not detect a 5GHz WiFi network.

    Others in my office are using Windows 10 and they can connect to the 5GHz wifi although they have an Intel wireless adapter, mine is Broadcom.

    We have one 2.4 GHz and one 5GHz wireless network setup in our office, but my Windows 10 only shows the 2.4GHz network in the list of available connections.

    There is a wall between my room and the wireless routers but even if I take my laptop to the router room it still does not pick up the 5GHz network.

    The 2.4GHz network works but the connection is slow unless I take my laptop to the router room.

    I'm running Windows 10 on Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro.

    When I boot into OSX it successfully detects and connects to the 5GHz network but when booted to Windows 10 it only picks up the 2.4GHz network. The network adapter obviously supports 5GHz as it works in OSX.

    Here are my system specs:

    • Macbook Pro 2012
    • Intel i5 dual core 2.5GHz
    • RAM 4GB
    • OS X El Capitan 10.11.2
    • Bootcamp Windows 10 Pro 64bit - version 15511 - OS build 10586.494
    • Wireless network adapter: Airport Extreme / Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter
    • Driver version 7.35.118.40
    • Driver date 24 July 2015
    • Radio types supported 802.11n 802.11a 802.11g 802.11b

    Can anyone help me make the 5GHz work under Windows 10?

    Many thanks

    Rob
