If you then leave the house and try to connect to Wifi elsewhere, it's worth making sure you've set it back to Auto to keep things running nice and smoothly. One thing worth noting is that should you specify only 2.4GHz or 5GHz, your Surface will only connect on those bands. Select your desired band, hit OK, and you're good to go!.The dropdown "Value" box on the right will have options for 2.4GHz, 5GHz and Auto when the Property box on the left has "Band" highlighted.Assuming all is correct thus far, hit the Advanced tab.Along the top of the dialog box, open the Driver tab.Tap and hold or right click on "Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller" and open its properties.Find "Network Adapters" in the list and expand it.Using the universal search on the Start Screen, search for "Device Manager.".Yes, this is a kludge – but the fault lies with the device manufacturer taking shortcuts in the setup process.Switching bands is easy, so long as you know where to look. Once it has been set up, it should continue working just fine after your phone returns to the 5GHz band. One workaround for this is to do the initial setup of the device by first walking far enough away with your phone to get it to drop back from 5GHz to 2.4GHz and initiate the setup from there (you may need a helper to stay near the device being set up if it has buttons that have to be pushed). When the phone is close to the network, though, it will be on the faster 5GHz band, and can't tell the device which BSSID and channel to connect to for 2.4GHz operation. They assume the setup device (e.g., a phone) is on the same band as the device being set up. All the different routers firmware was updated to the latest versions - no. All leds remain lit - no faults indicated on the routers admin webpage either. This router no longer freezes but all wireless devices on 2.4GHz keep dropping however 5GHz and wired devices continue to work fine. The problem is that some 2.4GHz-only devices were designed with poor assumptions about what modern home networks increasingly look like, and those can be more challenging to get set up first. I then tried a brand new TP-Link AC2800 (Archer VR2800). However, most 2.4GHz equipment will work fine on this network (I have a bunch of 2.4GHz-only devices on my network, for example). Hello WiFi uses a single SSID for both bands (2.4GHz and 5GHz) across all access points.
