#802.11b/g/n/ac (2x2) wi fi® and bluetooth® 4.2 combo how to#
I googled everywhere how to solve that issue, but no luck. Last, but not least (in fact, this is the biggest reason): Every time I turn on Bluetooth on my laptop to connect to my wireless speakers, my WiFi disconnects.Hopefully 5 ghz network will speed that up. Speed: I have 50mbps internet, but my devices can only reach ~24 through WiFi.
Also, my router stands pretty close to my wireless landline phone, which (being 2.4ghz device as well) also interferes with the signal. I live in a house and all neighbor's WiFi's around me work on 2.4ghz, so the band spectrum is pretty congested.If second, would you give an edge to Intel or Broadcom?Īlso, has anyone had any experience buying wireless network cards off of eBay and similar sites? I've found multiple of them, however I didn't see any reviews. So the first one has ac, which is a plus, but has also 1x1, which is a minus, while the other don't support ac, but do have 2x2. BCM943228HM4L 802.11abgn 2x2 Wi-Fi Adapter and Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter (up to 300 Mbps).Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi + BT4.0 (up to 300 Mbps).Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (1x1) WiFi (up to 433 Mbps).Later I found in a forum which wireless network cards are compatible with my laptop, and out of all of them only 3 support 5ghz band: However I've found out that my laptop's wireless network card can't connect to 5ghz network, as it's only 802.11b/g/n, while some other devices (like my phones) can. I've been considering buying new router which supports 5ghz, ac, beam foaming, MU MIMO and all that fancy stuff.
