Windows 10: Wireless only G strength despite N rated card

Hi,

I'm running 64bit Win 10 and I downloaded the latest Wireless drivers direct from the driver manager and my connection is fine and stable (except I have to manually re-connect every time I restart my computer *Mad)

Besides that my settings show I am only running a G speed, despite the Realtek card being N rated (worked fine in Windows 7 I was running previously, and the router is broadcasting BGN) Is this something I can fix, or is it just how it is because of the preview builds? Thanks.

Wifi network it show only 2 signal bar while my friend laptopshow all signal while we have same laptop and when i gooutside of 5 meter it doesnot show any signal

Signal strength is a function of the card itself and cannot be influenced by Windows. Make sure automatic selection of the network standard is enabled (b/g/n)

 

Network Adapter Wireless not showing B & N and not supporting 5GHZ

Hi Aneesh,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

To assist you better, I would like to know whether you are using any modem or router.

I would like to inform you that to connect to the 5 GHz band, the card must be rated as A/B/G/N, or AC. I suggest you to check if the router, modem and card are rated A/B/G/N, or AC. Since the card does not show n, this means that
the card does not support the n band.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

Welcome to the forums TheMightyElvi. Try setting your router for wireless N only.

 

Did you also upgrade your router? What router brand and model do you have?

 

There are two versions of the RTL8192 (U & E)

You might want to try either version from the Realtek download page Select the Windows 7 versions, not the XP versions.

Uninstall the existing driver and software first (Control panel & Device manager) - remove software if prompted in Device manager.

Then install the U version ... if that doesn't help, uninstall that version and try the E version (which looks like the same version you have installed now - but it's from Realtek, not MS).

The RT page describes the device as 802.11n draft 2.0 compliant. Without looking it up, that might mean the it can 'theoretically' achieve n speeds. There were many early 802.11n devices that were simply terrible even at g speeds.

Good luck.
