[Ubuntu-US-CA] hello!

[Charlie Luna]

hey luke, i don't even know how to force the card to use the 2.4ghz band. my other laptops have no problem at all it seems. they only have 802.11b/g/n cards and they seem fine. i can get closer to the router with my lenovo and it does get better but it seems to drop the signal anyway periodically. i can sit on the couch which is about 20-25ft from the router and it's just as intermittent as it is in the bedroom which is farther away. but, there's a wireless camera behind my head when i sit on the couch so i could switch sides and check it out. 

how do i force it to choose n?

This concern pertains to my laptop which is a Lenovo Ideapad 310-15ABR and I run Ubuntu on it but man, I'm having the hardest time keeping it connected to my wifi which is a brand new router from Charter and it's an awesome setup since it supports 802.11ac and it's dual channel and I've got a brand new Intel 3165 802.11ac/b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 wifi card in it that replaces a Realtek model that came as standard equipment for the laptop.
