A6100 and WiFi 2

Everytime we boot up using the A6100 on 5ghz  with wifi 2 that installed with the A6100, the internet is blocked.  If you reboot, it works ok.  Is there a special setting for wifi 2?  If we remove the adapter the 2.4ghz works perfectly on first boot.  So there has to be something or a setting with the A6100 or the WiFi 2.

Model: A6100|AC600 WiFi USB Mini Adapter

Hi tomgt8,

 

Is the WiFi 2 a network of your router?

No, when the A6100 is plugged in either it or Win 10 creates a secondary wifi set up called wifi2 where my 5ghz band shows up.  When the A6100 isn't plugged in and the computer is just using the 2.4ghz band there are no issues at all with connection.

Hi tomgt8,

 

Try to disabled for the mean time the built in wireless adapter of your computer and use only the A6100.

Bought an off brand for half the price and it works all the time.  I don't get the same speed, but no headaches or jumping through hoops to make it work.
