everything seems to be working pretty good now. i've reinstalled
everything and switched between the 2 SSIDs and everything works far
better than it used to. Not sure what I did but whatever it was, I'm
super thankful that it's working great! I appreciate you waking up
my mind to this. It helped me a lot. <br>

<div name="messageBodySection">That depends. Most routers have the
ability to offer separate SSIDs for each band so to switch you
would simply select the other network name on your laptop
network setup, however I notice that lately the thing seems to
be offer both bands under a single SSID and let the router
choose which band you use. Sounds like maybe what you have.<br>
<br>
You may want to look at the router setup to see if you can split
the two bands apart. If not maybe someone here knows how to
force your card to pick one band over another.</div>

<div>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. </div>

<div>how do i force it to choose n? </div>

<div>Do you have problem with wifi on both bands, or just
one of the two? While AC is faster it is frequently more
likely to drop out at range.<br data-mce-bogus="1">

class="body-text-content">hello all from Apple
Valley! I'm a member of the SoCal loco group
and I'm very happy to be on this email list
now.<br>
<br>
Some things are concerning and I'm about to
start investigating them. 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.<br>
<br>
I vetted the hardware thoroughly and got
documentarion from Lenovo confirming the
approved models of wifi cards for my laptop
and I verified the new card with the vendor
and I chose Intel, which I try to do all the
time, since Intel is fully supported by Ubuntu
and Linux in general.<br>
<br>
I'm going to be taking my laptop to another
location and connecting to the wifi there too
see how it performs.<br>
<br>
My home is blanketed with various wireless
signals from the wireless alarm system, to the
tv streaming devices (roku), and many other
things. I get the feeling that due to this,
that's why my connection always suffers.<br>
<br>
But this is a preliminary assessment and I
want to conduct thorough investigations into
this and try to get it figured out.<br>
<br>
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
