Alpha R2, can't connect to 5GHz WiFi
Hi,
I am having difficulty finding and connecting to my 5ghz wifi network as I can't find on the list of available networks. It doesn't seem to be a router issue as I can connect to the 5ghz network just fine on my mobile and ipad.
Google search pointed me to a similiar issue posted on this forum years ago, but the solution does not appear to be available anymore. https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-General-Read-Only/Alienware-Alpha-R2-Intel-Wireless-3165-does-not-connect-to-5-GHz/m-p/5580148?search-action-id=353870507830&search-result-uid=5580148
Router information:
TP-Link AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit VoIP Router
Model No.Archer C5v
Wifi adapter: Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 - drivers updated to latest version 19.51.26.1 dated 29/10/19
trouble shooting tried: going into device manager > Network Adapters > Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 > properties > Advanced > switching value to 5ghz 802.11a
any help would be appreciated.
