  1. Unable to connect to 5GHz network


    I'm having issues with connecting to the 5GHz wifi network. I've already confirmed that my wifi card Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. I already set the network to Dual band 802. 11a/g, set the preferred band to 5ghz, and enabled IPv6. My device is unable to detect the 5GHz band in the first place, much less connecting to one. Other devices are capable of connecting to the same 5GHz band with no issues, it is not a placement issue as the router is close to my device. I have tried to connect with other 5GHz bands and it does not work. Any help would be greaty appreci

    :)

  2. Laptop wont connect to Android hotspot 5ghz but does on 2.4ghz

    good evening, I have a problem where i cant connect to 5Ghz hotspot from my samsung 21. It is set up as 5Ghz on my phone but says unable to connect to network. If i set my phone as 2.4Ghz it will connect fine. I have ruled out the phone as i can connect my works phone to the 5Ghz hotspot. When i try set up my works phone as the 5Ghz hot spot i get the same issue on the laptop. I have tried everything i can think of. My laptop does connect to 5Ghz wifi as this is what i use in my home to game. It just seems to be hotspot that it wont allow. Below is a list of what i have tried. Forgetting the hotspot Flight mode Manually adding the wireless connection Changing network adapters to show 5Ghz connections only Updating windows to latest update Network adapters are updated One thing i did do that worked the first time was open command prompt and do these commands below netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns Then i restarted laptop and it connected to 5Ghz hotspot. Then after 30 minutes it disconnected and i have not been able to connect again, even after repeating the above steps. Please help! Thank you

  4. Unable to connect to 5GHz network

    Windows 10 Unable to detect/Connect to 5Ghz network. -Post upgrade.

    I'm unable to connect to my 5ghz network. This occurred after i Upgraded from windows 7 to 10.

    The 5ghz network is still detected and and be access by phones, but no longer by my Computer.

    I've searched online to find that only useless information about windows 8 with this kind of issue is available.
