How to Switch from 2.4GHz to 5GHz Wireless Network Adapter in Windows 11 [Tutorial]

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

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

In general, if your computer has a 5GHz adapter and your Wi-Fi router broadcasts the same frequency, you should switch to the 5GHz band instead of using 2.4GHz to get better internet speed. Sometimes your computer may 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 need to check whether your Windows laptop supports 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
