03-11-2016, 03:02 PM #1Hi everyone, I purchased the Edimax AC1750 EW-7833UAC wireless adapter and was expecting it to work with 5GHz Wi-Fi. My router’s login page confirms it supports that mode. Despite checking the device manager settings—network adapter → my adapter → properties → advanced—I still can’t detect the signal. I’ve tried all the available options, including various Wi-Fi standards like IEEE 802.11a through 802.11ac. It seems the adapter isn’t showing up at all. I’m not a networking expert, so I wasn’t sure if this would be an issue or if there was a compatibility problem. Could you help me figure out what’s going on?

This is especially important for 2.4GHz Wi-Fi where many networks operate on the same channels. Choosing the least busy channel can boost speed. On the 5GHz band, the coverage is generally too short to experience significant interference or congestion.
