I have a new laptop, which I use plugged in and in a different room from my Wifi router. I've discovered that it is using the 2.4 GHz band with a speed of only 144/144. If I switch it on in the same room as the router, it uses the 5.0 GHz band with a much higher speed, and keeps that band if I then bring it back (while still switched on) to its usual location!
Is there any way I can make it use the 5.0 band when switched on in its normal location? Any suggestions gratefully received!
