C6300V2 stopped displaying 5ghz SSID when scanning my networks
My Netgear Modem/Router stopped broadcasting my 5GHZ WIFI connections, on Primary and Guest networks. I've tried checking my network card, I go into GENIE and they are still shown as there, nothing ...
I actually found another issue not even related to the router/modem. On my Inspiron 620 PC, which is older of course, I was wondering why the 5GHZ wireless was not showing up, just the 2.4GHZ, it turns out, my wifi nic only supports b/g/n, therefore, in order for me to connect my PC wireless, which it doesn't really matter, I would need to upgrade that card to handle A and C Radios, so I am looking for a compatible Wireless NIC for my PC, Dell doesn't seem to really want to provide an answer, so I have been researching on my own, plus I want to upgrade my Memory, which can handle up to 8gigs, I am currently running 6gigs, but my CPU resources get bogged down quickly and I have most things I don't need to use turned off in the background or in startup.
What nic do you currently have in it?
Is it pci based?
I believe so.
again, what do you actually have in it?
If its pci based is it a pci integrated card, is it an adapter card, etc? What exactly is it?
potentially you can upgrade it but we'd need more info.What pc is it?
Its a Dell Inspiron 620 Windows 10 X64 OS.
I mean, its a great PC, just needs some modifications.
