WNDR4300 5ghz
How can I turn my 5ghz band on for my wndr 4300 router?
- Try using channel 149. The upper channels are allowed to broadcast at higher power.
Check the driver settings for the tplink and make sure the 5 GHz band is enabled.
Run a Wi-Fi surveyor program, like inSSIDer, vistumbler, or Acrylic Wi-Fi. It will report what networks it can see.
Make sure the antennas on both the router and tplink card are properly installed.
Hi purplesky2,
Welcome to the community!
The 5Ghz signal should be on by default.
For some reasons that it's not broadcasting, you may want to check the settings by accessing the admin page of the router. Look if SSID broadcast is enabled.
See page 29 from this link.
Let us know what happens.
that didnt work, even tried to manually add the connection
purplesky2 Do you still have the 5Ghz LED light on the front panel of the router? Can you still see the name that it broadcast? How about the 2.4Ghz signal can you see its broadcasted signal?Have you tried resetting and reconfiguring the router?
Looking forward to your response.
