Re: Why does my laptop always open to 5GHz when I have 2GHz selected?
Thanks to you all for your replies. I accidentally discovered another solution before I read yours. Here's a photo of what I did -- I discovered that for whatever reason, the hug5 was at the top of the list (I didn't put it there, and have no idea if it's always been like that or some update or something changed it). So far, this solution is working. Thanks again.Why does my laptop always open to 5GHz when I have 2GHz selected?
Because of the EXTREME consumption of bandwidth that happens no matter what I do to minimize it, I've set my Gen5 WiFi settings to 2.4GHz (see image below), since 5GHz would be even more consumptive. However, almost every single time I start up my laptop in the a.m. the WiFi connects at 5GHz anyway. What can I do to prevent this? I need to conserve every tiny byte I can! The laptop OS is Win7. I turn off the power to the modem nightly (I'm on solar power and must conserve that way as well).
