- Context
I’ve had a Lenovo laptop in my hands that had a Wi-Fi-6 wireless card and wanted to make sure it uses the 5Ghz band instead of 2.4Ghz.
- Problem
The default settings were showing that there’s no prefrence 😦
My refrence page from Intel named “Recommended Settings for 802.11ac Connectivity” didn’t show exactly the same settings because the manufacturer isn’t Intel.
- Solution
Anyway, there isn’t much to do. In this case, it’s:
Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name 'Wi-Fi' -RegistryKeyword 'PreferredBand' -RegistryValue '2' -Verbose
Now, the preferred band is set to 5GHz 😎
