Since updating to windows 10 I haven't been able to see my 5Ghz network on my desktop PC.
My smartphone and laptop can see and connect to the network at the same distance.

I've looked around for solutions dating back to 2015 but haven't found a fix yet.


When checking if my hardware actually supports 5GHz WiFi with cmd netsh wlan show drivers

Radio types supported: 802.11n 802.11g 802.11b 802.11ac 802.11n 802.11a

Adapter A7000 – Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi USB Adapter – USB 3.0, Dual Band


In the settings:

There is no option for '802.11n Mode'
Choosing 'IEEE 802.11a/n/ac' does not show 5GHz network
When selecting any other options besides 'Auto' or the 'IEEE 802.11b/g/n' combinations I cannot see both 2.4GHz or 5GHz network.

Any ideas of how to fix this?

Kind regards.
