That’s good to know. Use what works I say!
I would still like to figure out why the 2.4 Ghz is so terrible on this laptop (using 2.4 on all my other devices gives the SAME speed as 5 Ghz is giving me on this laptop), but at least at home I have a solution. Any ideas what might be causing it to be so terrible on 2.4 Ghz? (It’s 10 feet from the router)
Only that similar has been reported by many others using this hardware in Linux. Something driver or firmware specific it would seem. You probably need to check out any existing bug reports for this device, and consider adding to them.
