Windows 10: Windows 10 Cannot See 5GHz Network

Since updating to windows 10 I haven't been able to see my 5Ghz network on my desktop PC.
My smartphone and laptop can see and connect to the network at the same distance.

I've looked around for solutions dating back to 2015 but haven't found a fix yet.


When checking if my hardware actually supports 5GHz WiFi with cmd netsh wlan show drivers

Radio types supported: 802.11n 802.11g 802.11b 802.11ac 802.11n 802.11a

Adapter A7000 – Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi USB Adapter – USB 3.0, Dual Band


In the settings:

There is no option for '802.11n Mode'
Choosing 'IEEE 802.11a/n/ac' does not show 5GHz network
When selecting any other options besides 'Auto' or the 'IEEE 802.11b/g/n' combinations Icannot see both 2.4GHz or 5GHz network.

Any ideas of how to fix this?

Kind regards.

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
