No 5GHZ WiFi networks available - mkrupczak - 06-22-2020 Hello, Just got my pinebook pro in the mail and have been loving it so far, but it appears that I'm unable to connect to any 5GHZ WiFi networks. This is very disappointing for me given how slow the 2.4GHZ band is due to congestion in my area. Was wondering if anyone else had encountered this or had tips for troubleshooting RE: No 5GHZ WiFi networks available - walterego - 06-24-2020 (06-22-2020, 04:32 PM)mkrupczak Wrote: Hello,Hi, I have exactly the same problem. The first boot connected to the 5Ghz network but after software update now only detects 2.4Ghz wireless routers. RE: No 5GHZ WiFi networks available - carlosqueso - 06-24-2020 The updated WiFi firmware causes problems with 5Ghz WiFi. You should downgrade to the one linked in this post: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10023&pid=67119#pid67119 Then follow the instructions on downgrading from the Manjaro Wiki: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title...s_manually That cleared it up for me.

The Manjaro page link works though.

I am keeping mine updated as usual and 5ghz wifi is working fine as far as I can tell. Anyone got some further insights into this? RE: No 5GHZ WiFi networks available - xmixahlx - 06-25-2020 it works fine with lower 5Gchannels. |
