Hi guys,
We have just moved house and set up with a new ISP (zzoomm) on a 1gb connection.
We can connect to the new network fine on every device except for my partner's PC (see specs below)
The WiFi offers both a 2.4GHz or a 5GHz connection. She can connect to the 2.4GHz but it is painfully slow (~7mbs) and her PC doesn't even have the option to connect to the 5GHz connection. I assume this is because of the wireless network card currently in her PC only being 2.4GHz?
Would we just need to upgrade the wireless network card to a 5GHz one and she'd be good to go? If so, we'd appreciate any recommendations that would fit with her current build.
FWIW both PCs are in the same room in the house, so I don't think it's an issue with the signal strength.
