    Wifi drops to 2.4


    Hi all,
    I installed win 10 today and all went fine. It found all my programs and settings with one exception: it will not stay at 5G. It drops out and then reconnects to 2.4.
    I have a Belkin wireless adaptor N600 DB. Model F9L1101v2
    I know it is not my adaptor, because it will work just fine on a different computer running win 7 and the modem is working just fine also, so it must be win 10 that is the problem.
    Anyone else have that problem and cot it fixed?
    Thanks
    Sven

    WiFi Access Point & WiFi Access Point are on different WiFi Channels. Performance may be degraded.

    This can and has happened when both the 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ wifi adapter, if one's computer has more than one wifi adapter is connected to their router. Try only using the 2.4 GHZ or 5 GHZ wifi connection if that is the case.

    Airplane mode + Wi-Fi

    I have similar problem: I am using on Lumia 520 (Denim) WiFi 2.4 GHz WPA-2 connection with Aitplane Mode usualy without problems. But in some cases I not able to connet to some WiFi hotspots with Aitplane Mode. In this cases I need the Aitplane Mode swich
    off and afterwads I am able to connet to those WiFi hotspots (2.4 GHz). I found that one of those WiFi 2.4 GHz hotspots is WPA personal (not WPA-2). When is Aitplane Mode on, this hotspot is not found.-

    Hi,
    Go to Device manager, right click Wi-Fi adapter, can you find any similarity with my snip? you need to look under Advanced tab in Properties.

    Wifi drops to 2.4

    If the 2.4 ghz signal is stronger I would think the network adapter is probably sensing that and shifting to the stronger signal. If you are not going to use that computer/adapter on 2.4 ghz at all, can you go into the hardware properties and set it for 5 ghz only?

    I think you are correct, the 2.4 signal has 5 bars the 5.0 has only 4 bars.
    that may be the problem. I can not set it to 5.0 only. I guess I have to live with that.
    Thanks
