i just got frontier and they setup the eero 6 + routers. but for some reason i'm having issues with my hp ryzen 3 pc to stay on the 5g side of the wifi. i can get it there after a bit of messing around with disconnecting the pc from the network and then i get the 5g. but if i let the pc set for a bit it goes back to the 2.4g. and i start all over.
so this is what i have done so far.
reset the pc to a new install of win 10.
went to hp and downloaded the last wifi drivers.
went into the device manager and in the network i turned the driver on to 5g preferred.
it is now at 5g but tomorrow it will be back to 2.4g i can see the speed on the eero app. i do not think the issue is the pc becasue i had it connected to a network hub that will do 1000 mbps speeds. and during the install the pc ran at 1000 mbps. anyway some place something is not working correctly. so maybe someone has a fix they can share? i tried win10 forums and they can't seem to help. i tried to install win11 because my pc said that was ready to install thinking that win11 may resolve any drivers, but it would not install. this pc is win11 ready per win10 guys. and hp support.
i have 500/500 internet and i know i will not get that on wifi but 20mbps is way to low when at this time it is at 240 mbps and i can get that but i have to mess around for a bit to finally get it to stay. now this may be in the eero 6 router but i swapped them yesterday thinking that was the issue and that did not resolve it either.
so maybe some here has a fox. thanks
