Windows 10: Windows 10 - 5G Network Missing From Laptop After Update

Ok....so, I'm reading through other questions in this community forum and see that others have this same issue--AND have had this issue as far back as a year ago, or longer. Seems like this is a flaw with Windows 10. Here we go again Microsoft!!


I have updated drivers, gone through ALL the steps listed online to reset my computer in an attempt "see" my 5G network and NOTHING is happening. I have had 5G on this laptop for years!! I reset the router - and Verizon even gave me a new one - and NOTHING. All the phones in my house and other devices all see the 5G network just fine. EXCEPT the laptop. Was watching a movie, paused it to have dinner, and POOF!!! the 5G network disappeared.


My laptop had Windows 8 and I thought I was doing a good thing in loading Windows 10 on it. WRONG.


PLEASE send a new update to fix this problem. I would like to get back to using my computer.


Thanks.

Windows 10 5G nbn wifi not showing up

Hi,

There is a possibility that the wireless network adapter of your computer is not compatible with the 5G Wi-Fi network. Just to clarify, can your computer connect to other 5G networks?

For us to verify if your computer is compatible with the 5G Wi-Fi network, kindly provide the name of the wireless network card. To determine the device's name, follow these steps:

• Right-click the Windows logo, and then choose Device Manager.
• Expand Network.
• Locate the computer's wireless network card.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

 

5G network issues

Hi, I have a network that has 2.4 and 5g. My laptop connects to the 2.4 network, but the 5g doesn't seem to pop up. My IPod connects fine to the 5g, but my laptop unfortunately doesn't.

-Windows 10 64bit

-Radio types supported: 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n

Does my laptop support 5g? If not, is there a way I could enable 5g support?

Edit: I have ThinkPad T420 Lenovo. My network adapters will be attached as an image to the post.

Thanks!
