Question

I have a AC1750 Smart Wifi Router.  I have multiple computers in my house. On some of my computers I get a network choice of both  Netgear10 and Netgear10-5G. On some my computers I only get the Netgear10 option and not the Netgear10-5G option. Does anyone know why all my computers do not get both the Netgear10 and Netgear10-5G option.  Thanks

    Probably because not all wireless cards are dual band. 

    Check the wireless card/chip in the computer that's not seeing the 5g.
