A7000 cant connect to 5g network
I just got this wifi adapter this new wifi adapter. I have spent nearly 6 hours connected to the 5g network and had a consistent 115 mbps download speed. All the sudden my internet was extremely slow...
Fimrware on the R7000?
Are any other devices having issue with speeds/connection?
I never replied because the next day and up until now I had zero problems. Today all the sudden I can't connect to the 2.4g or 5g network. No other devices are having problems. I spent about an hour trying to connect and after resetting the router I could connect to the 2.4 network. Now I cant connect to the 5g network at all. I used to use the N900 (WNDA4100) wifi adapter which on paper should be a piece of junk compared to the nighthawk adapter. For five years I had hardly any network connectivity problems until I upgraded...
Now the adapter is randomly disconnecting and connecting back. It is making the sound when you unplug a usb device. I can also connect to 5g right now but a windows message pops up that has never in the past saying this network is unsecure because it uses an older security standard. It is also strange because I used to get 90-120 Mbps download being on the 5g network and now I am getting a max of like 30.
