Sorry if this isn't in the right sub but I'm looking for some guidance on upgrading my wifi adapter on my hp 15-n065sa laptop. I recently upgraded my router to an Asus RT-N66U which has noticeably improved the wireless connection. There are about 10 wireless devices connected to the router at any given time, most of them using the 2.4ghz channel. I want to use the 5ghz channel to be able to download and stream on my laptop without affecting anyone else using the internet but my laptop's wifi adapter is not dual band - Reatek RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n.
I would prefer to upgrade the internal adapter rather than use a usb one. I've looked on the HP website and in the maintenance and service guide and it doesn't list any compatible alternative cards which are dual band (from what I can tell) apart from the Intel Centrino but this is specifically stated for use in models in Japan.
Bought a new laptop and have been setting it up with a wifi dual band router. My issue is that Band A at 2.5Ghz connects anywhere in the house, but the 5Ghz band cannot even be found. Working the problem with my router settings and support. Laptop: HP Pavillion TS 15 Notebook 15-n088ca with Windows 8.1 (fully updated) & WiFi Router: D-Link Wireless AC1000 Dual Band Router DIR-820L with 2.5GHz and 5GHz bands. The 2.5ghz band is discoverable and connects fine, and works anywhere in the house. The 5GHz Band is not even discovered, doesn't show up on the list.
A new Galaxy Tablet did find the 5GHz Band but was very weak. How do I find out if there are limitations on my Notebook pc regarding 5GHz bands? Can they be updated? Are there other solutions? I have been on the Router support site, and one of the issues mentioned was a limitation on the pc to recieve 5GHz. (Which I wish I knew before I bought the router at the same time as the pc) Any help would be appreciated, Thank You.
Hi Richard, I have searched for information about the wireless adapter installed in your computer and found that your wireless adapter has 802.11n standard, which supports 5GHz bandwidth. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the Wireless adapter make and model. Let us know the make and model of the Wireless adapter. While you reply, check if these settings help. Go to Desktop mode. Select Charms Settings PC Info.
Click Device Manager (located in the top left of screen). Click the sign to expand the Network adapters entry. Right-click the wireless adapter and click Properties. Click the Advanced tab, click 802.11n mode, under value Select Enable.
