So i get internet installed (150mbs) purchase my own router/modem (its a combo all in one) works fine for 10 hours, its a dual band router so it sends out a 2.4 and a 5ghz signal. i connect everything to it my laptop which i use for dl and gaming looses connecting to the 5ghz signal after about 10 hours my phone connects to the 5ghz just fine everything else is on the 2.4ghz channel. for the life of me i cannot get my laptop to connect to the 5ghz after about 10 hours of it being connected flawlessly like it just stops working and wont work again, I connect type in my password but the internet doesn't work. This is my second one i returned the 1st one got the same one (thought it was just a dud) and the same exact thing happened again worked fine for a half day next morning wont work.
I have tried everything in my life to get it to work i sit about 6 ft from the router w/ nothing in the way. I have tried looking for drivers on my computer tried running software to see if there is issues with my wifi card everything comes back fine i took my laptop to my buddies connected to his 5ghz channel just fine. turned off everything electronic in my room except the computer and the router still doesn't work i can see the connection, i connect but no internet. I downloaded wifi analyzer to find the channel with the least amount of traffic still didnt change anything, Ive called both the cable company and the router company both have no explanation, I have unplugged it plugged it back in, reset the whole modem/router, turned my computer on/off. I would say i just got 2 ****** products but this whole time my phone (which is old as **** and typically always has wifi problems) has worked flawlessly.
