5ghz band can't connect to certain websites

[999moon9999]

I just go a new router the model is a R6100. I am using Windows 10 Home the problem occurs on both Microsoft's Edge and Google's Chrome. The problem occurs on sites such as my Local Craigslist and an MMA Fight share site. Is this the work of my internet provider (Spectrum)? I do have a Charter Spectrum modem. Oh yeah and all those sites work perfectly fine on the 2.4 ghz band.

Any help is appreciated

Wi-Fi connects to the router in the same house.

What website you use should make absolutely no difference. You should either have a good connection or not over local wi-fi.

The ISP would have no idea whether you use wi-fi either. It just talks to your MODEM. The ROUTER part is completely separate.

*Obviously you have an issue and apparently it works on 2.4GHz so I'm quite baffled as to what's going on.

Again, the 5GHz connection if problematic should affect the signal at any time, regardless of what website you are on. A website is just 1's and 0's talking to the MODEM which then get put into a wireless signal locally.

So I'd say your 5GHz wi-fi network is simply shaky in general. That could be a few things:

a) router problem
b) wi-fi adapter on PC (or software), or
c) 5GHz interference or weak signal (PC should show the signal)

You can test that by having more than one PC on the 5GHz network.

Or stick with the 2.4GHz network. Do you need the 5GHz network? Usually it only matters if the ISP can give you data faster than what local wi-fi can do at 2.4GHz (i.e. 7MBps is what I get for 2.4Ghz wi-fi which is enough to stream an uncompressed BluRay movie)
