I recently upgraded my Wi-Fi plan to a 400Mbps connection. The network is fast and wireless, using a TP-Link ARCHER AC1300 adapter. After switching providers, the connection suddenly drops whenever I play games, requiring constant reconnection. It causes noticeable lag. I need assistance. Can someone help me? How can I ensure it stays on just one internet source? As shown in the photo, there are two devices—one 2.4GHz and another 5GHz. I want only the 2.4GHz to stay connected.

there isn't any choice available, I would have handled it before...

Is the outdated Wi-Fi device still active? Switching to a newer or more powerful service should let you turn off or remove the old router.

You can turn off the 5GHZ frequency on your ISP modem or access point. If your access point supports it, switch the SSID of the 5GHZ band to something like SKY7_5GHZ. It’s better to use the 5GHz band because it offers more bandwidth. This is why your adapter keeps trying to connect to it—it’s the preferred choice. It seems you haven’t set up your TPLink Ac1300 for the 5GHZ band on your ISP/access point. Any security configurations you made for the 2.4GHz device should be repeated for the 5GHz band as well.

I spoke with my dad about the options. He said the 5GHz provides better speed but less range, while the 2.4GHz gives more coverage but weaker signals. I think we should stop using the 2.4GHz since it’s not what I need. Thanks for your advice!
