hey luke, i don't even know how to force the card to use the 2.4ghz band. my other laptops have no problem at all it seems. they only have 802.11b/g/n cards and they seem fine. i can get closer to the router with my lenovo and it does get better but it seems to drop the signal anyway periodically. i can sit on the couch which is about 20-25ft from the router and it's just as intermittent as it is in the bedroom which is farther away. but, there's a wireless camera behind my head when i sit on the couch so i could switch sides and check it out.
how do i force it to choose n? > On May 12, 2017, at 12:35 PM, Luke Van Dervoort <lmpvanderv...@icloud.com> > wrote: > > Charlie, > > Do you have problem with wifi on both bands, or just one of the two?
