Now, with my new Satellite internet service having introduced a lot of testing, I got reminded that 5g channels are a lot faster than 2.4g WiFi..... knew that, just forgot it.
my testing with my cellphone proved that the ViaSat modem passes data much faster on 5g than it does on 2.4g.
so, how do I get this MT7630e WiFi adapter to see the 5g channels?
Currently it only sees the 2.4g channels.
