Netgear A6210 not showing 5ghz band
Good afternoon, I recently purchased a Netgear R7000 Nighthawk to make use of the high speed 5ghz band, only to find out that my usb adapter (A6210) is unable to view it as an available network. ...
Thank you for your help Searay.
I tried both your recommendations, but unfortunately the problem persisted, 5ghz was nowhere to be found.
After browsing the internet for people with a similar problem, I finally found the solution to my issue.
I had to switch the channel on the 5ghz band on the R7000 router to a lower channel (in my case, ch48). Anything over 149 was invisible to the a6200 adapter (altho all my other wireless devices could connect perfectly fine).
I can finally connect my desktop to my router properly, with the connection achieving 867mbit on a permanent basis.
I hope this helps anyone that has the same problem as me.
