How to Change From 2.4ghz to 5ghz Wireless Network Adapter in Windows 11 [Tutorial]

Depending upon the hardware, you can use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands in your Windows 11 computer to get a better internet speed. Here is how you can switch between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands in Windows 11.

In an environment with other radiating devices nearby (such as microwave ovens, cordless telephones, access points, or client devices), in order to reduce interference, you may prefer the 5GHz band over the 2.4GHz band, or the reverse.

In general, if your computer has a 5 GHz adapter and your Wi-Fi router broadcasts the same frequency, you should switch to the 5 GHz band instead of using 2.4 GHz to get a better internet speed. At times, your computer might not detect the 5 GHz band due to some reasons, and you will end up using the 2.4 GHz band. However, if your computer shows the 5 GHz band, you can force your PC to use it instead of 2.4 GHz. Before that, you should check if your Windows laptop supports 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
