Hi all,
I'm having trouble with the network connection on my computer. Since I've gotten my computer, for as long as I can recall, it has not been able to connect to 5ghz networks. This hasn't been to much of an issue because I've been using an ethernet connection but now that's not possible and it's very aggravating having to use the slower speed 2.4 ghz connection. Whenever I try to connect to the 5ghz connection I simply get a message back saying "cant connect to the network" and that's it. I'm positive the problem is related to my computer as both my phone and laptop can connect to the network just fine. I'm currently on windows 10 and my wifi adapter is a intel dual band wireless ac 3168. Does anyone have any tips I should try to fix the connection? I've already tried updating my network adapter drivers, unchecking "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power", as well as turning on throughput booster. Thanks for any help!
Also, this shouldn't be a problem with the ISP because I've used two different ISP's and it hasn't worked for either.
