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.
If it is broadcasting the issue may be that the channel chosen, if set to auto, or channel set is not for the region, country you are in. Not all 5 gig channels are available in all countries.
Try something low such as channel 36 or 40 and see if that works.
