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.

purplesky2 Can you see other wireless networks in your area? Do you have another device that can see the signal of the router such as a laptop, phones, tablets?
