WNDR4300 5ghz
How can I turn my 5ghz band on for my wndr 4300 router?
- Sep 17, 2015Try 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.
