The 2.5ghz band is discoverable and connects fine, and works anywhere in the house. The 5GHz Band is not even discovered, doesn't show up on the list.

5Ghz band not there

The 2230 is a 2.4Ghz only networking adapter

Intel® Wireless Solutions

Multi-Stream, Single Band 802.11b/g/n 2x2 and 2.4 GHz

Delivers up to 300 Mbps speed in the 2.4 GHz band with multiple streams for enhanced speed while improving coverage and reliability.

802.11n supports 2.4 and 5Ghz. Typically for chips that support the 5Ghz band you will see 802.11abgn or 802.11ac listed as there is no marking specifically for 5Ghz N support.

5Ghz band not there

I have a HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k025dx Sleekbook and I just bought a Netgear WNDR4500 N900 Dual Band Gigabit Wifi Router. My laptop only sees the 2.5Ghz connection, it doesn't see the 5Ghz connection. Both connections have different names and 802.11n mode
is enabled on my wireless adapter (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230).

Is there something else I need to change in my settings for the connection to be seen by my laptop? I know the 5Ghz connection is fine because my phone picks up a strong signal from it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

 

5Ghz not working on Win10, latest drivers, was fine on 8.1


Hey guys

So ever since the Win10 upgrade, i've had an issue where my 5Ghz wifi doesn't work. It either doesn't show up as an available option when I look to connect to a network, or it says "Limited access", and most commonly "Cannot connect to this network" , forcing me to use the 2.4Ghz band. One of the reasons I bought this laptop was the 5Ghz Wireless AC support (I have an Asus RT-AC87u router)

I'm running the latest Intel drivers (downloaded last night from downloadcenter.intel.com) , Windows 10 Pro x64, Dell Inspiron 7000 series (15", Early 2015 model), i7-5500u, 16GB ram, Intel(R)Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 wifi card.

The 5Ghz was working fine under Win8.1 so I don't think it is the adaptor or a problem with the laptop itself.

Cheers
