802.1802.11d and 5GHz

Hi,


When I click on the properties of Network adaptors, for REALTEK RTL8723AE Wireless LAN 802.11 PCI-E NIC, under the advance tab, there is only 802.11d is listed and that is disabled. If I enable it, will I be able to connect to the 5GHz network of Sagecom F@st 5260CV router given by Optimum?


But my Network Adaptor is REALTEK RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11nPCI-E NIC however, when I click that and Advance it say802.11d Enabled.


How do I get 5Ghz on my laptop or is it impossible?


I ordered a WIFI ADAPTER to actually get my computer to work faster. My speed test and service with Optimum SUCKS I need REAL TECH advice. Someone from this community told me to Enable the 802.11d but so for my computer is loosing wifi connection every 15 to 30 min while connected.


Can so one please help also please know I'm over 60 so please limit our tech jargon.


Thank you!

:)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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
