If you are using a dual-band Wi-Fi connection at home or office, you can make your internet connection faster on Windows using the 5GHz option. Switching from 2.4GHz to 5GHz will improve your browsing speeds on Windows drastically and hence it is recommended to go with this option. But before you do this, you need to make sure that your Windows laptop or desktop supports a 5GHz WiFi band. So how to check this and how to enable 5GHz Wi-Fi on Windows? Let’s find out.

 

How to Enable 5GHz Wi-Fi on Windows:

Before you can enable 5GHz Wi-Fi on Windows, you need to make sure your laptop or desktop supports the dual-band. For this, you need to make sure your laptop supports either of these protocols- 802.11a or 802.11ac. If there is support for these, then you are good to go.
