For some reason, our modem is defaulting to 5G. But this means it is unusable for PCs. Only my mobile can handle 5G. So it was a good thing we bought a repeater a couple of weeks ago. The repeater seems to be only able to handle 2.4G. So other devices AND the PC can use it.
I should have written about this days ago but it seems I only found time today. Maybe because of my failing HDD but that's another blog post.
Back to the modem, when the PC connects to it at 5G mode, speed tests are off the charts. I'm getting speeds in the 100+ Mbps range which is amazing, until I try to surf, and get nothing. I can probably go to Google or watch YouTube, but other sites seem to not exist. I also can't play some of my games while in 5G mode. Very strange.
But once I switch down to 2.4G, it seems like everything is back to normal. Will try to update this post if I understand it more.
