Connects with 802.11n not 802.11ac

[BeeWall]

I am using a Netgear R6200 router with an A6200 usb adapter on Windows 8 64-bit in the 5GHz band, and it connects using 802.11n. I cannot find any options for using 802.11ac and in the A6200 WiFi Adapter properties I don't even see a reference to 802.11ac.

Does anyone know what I setting I need to change to get 802.11ac?

802.11ac only works on 5Ghz

Make sure you are connected on 5Ghz only

As I mentioned in the original post I am using 5GHz.

Anyone have any ideas?

Did you test at closer range if it is connected at 5Ghz?

I have tried different locations (same room) and it doesn't change. Only connects using n.

what is the Max Mbps you are getting?...

[BeeWall]

About 85 Mbps

Try the adaptor in a different PC.

I don't have another Win 8 machine to test on. I also looked at the suggested thread and the Enable WMM is checked. Is there a way to turn off 802.11n?...or only allow 802.11ac connections?

[jmizoguchi]

All protocol is supported 802.11ac

A/N/AC

You can not change just to accept 802.11AC only
