Hi All,
Apologies if I miss some key information here, please let me know if I do. Any help at all is appreciated.
I upgraded this morning to 'fibre to the house' in the UK, and speeds have not changed on my PC, I'm still around 30 down / 10 up. On my mobile I'm now getting 129 down / 30 up. I'm in the same room, pinging the same server on Ookla.
According to my router settings (BT Smart Hub 2) my wireless adaptor in the PC isn't dual band and is running on 2.4GHz, but I have an Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC1365, built in to a Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 mobo.
According to a WiFi analyser the smart switch feature of the router is doing it's job and I'm on the least congested channels for both frequencies, but it's showing me as connected via protocol 802.11n instead of 802.11-ac (the app I have on my phone doesn't tell me which protocol it's using).
I'm fully up to date on the latest drivers, windows updates/feature version, and I'm on BIOS F14, 15a and 15b don't appear to be relevant. Windows 20H2 is fairly consistently throwing memory management BSODs though so I'm likely going to have to roll back.
I guess the question is, what else can I try to enable 5GHz / 802.11-ac on my PC please? Assuming that would resolve it.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
