Windows 10: How can i switch to my 5ghz band

Ive followed youtube tutorials on how to switch as my connection is very slow but on device manager my wifi doesnt show up??? the only one that does show up is the name of my wifi booster although that doesnt have a preferred band option

5Ghz band not there

The 2230 is a 2.4Ghz only networking adapter

Multi-Stream, Single Band 802.11b/g/n 2x2 and 2.4 GHz

Delivers up to 300 Mbps speed in the 2.4 GHz band with multiple streams for enhanced speed while improving coverage and reliability.

802.11n supports 2.4 and 5Ghz. Typically for chips that support the 5Ghz band you will see 802.11abgn or 802.11ac listed as there is no marking specifically for 5Ghz N support.

Can't connect to 2.4ghz band, 5ghz keeps disconnecting

Thank you for the suggestion. That repair does seem to have fixed the problem I was having with the 5ghz network (although it's tough to tell if that's completely fixed until something goes wrong), but I still get the "Can't connect to this network" error
when trying to connect to the 2.4ghz band. I'm going to go back through a few of the troubleshooting steps and will update this thread once I do.

 

5ghz band spot problom . please answer .

Hi Mike

Please check your Phone to make sure it is transmitting on the 5Ghz band and check that the TP Link dongle is receiving on the 5Ghz band . . .
