Windows 10: Windows showing two different wifi connection for the same router.

I switched off the router to see whether both the connections goes of and it did. So which means for the same router windows is showing two connection and I can connect to both the connection. The strange part this doesn't show up in my android phone.

:)

 

When will the wifi connectivity problems be solved?

Hi Wabbles and welcome to Tenforums.

I've got 4 systems connecting via wireless; all adapters are different makes; all have zero issues, and two of them are old (wireless-G only). Most every issue I have seen with wireless connections has been driver-related. (Or, impending router failure.) I would suggest identifying your adapter model/make, and searching for different drivers that you can try out. And, sometimes an older driver works better than a newer one (just had this issue on a system I was working on yesterday). Also, verify you have these same connection issues when connecting to different routers, just to rule that out.

 

One Router, Two Connections. Ghost network?

It's possible that your router has 2 frequencies that it's using... the 2.4 Ghz band and the 5 Ghz band. In my router, it shows up as Router and Router5G.

 

One Router, Two Connections. Ghost network?

Hello there!

Its been a few weeks now, and I have noticed that my Windows 10 laptop running 64-bit Home, has two wifi connections. Yes.

I have one router.

Two connections show up. They have the same EVERYTHING. The only difference being the name of the network, the clone has a 2 next to its name.

BOTh connections work perfectly.

Is this a bug? A secret trick? The clone does not show up on any of my 10+ devices including Windows 7,8 laptops and smart devices.
