Aspire Z3-615 can't connect to 5Ghz WIFI

Hello everyone, i'm just curious. I currently have 2 wifi lines, one normal 2.4 and a 5ghz WIFI. However, my computer, the Aspire Z3-615 on windows 8, isn't able to read the 5ghz WIFI. My network adapter is qualcomm atheros ar956x 5ghz. I've been browsing around the forum, and am pretty sure that my adapter is a single channel, which i guess means it can't read 5g :/ My phones are able to connect, so i'm just wondering if there's any way to make it so that the computer can read 5g? Thanks for the help :-)

In the past, I have always just added a USB network adapter to a computer that needs 5 Ghz. If it says b,g,n.......it will only work on 2.4 GHz It must say a,b,g,n in order for it to work on both 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz. So you have to read the product descriptions carefully and make sure you see "a,b,g,n" http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=dp_bc_5?ie=UTF8&node=13983791

Airport Extreme - Can't Connect to 5Ghz Wifi

Recently I purchased a AT&T MiFi device called a UnitePro. This device allows me to broadcast a a dual band wifi if wanted. It also allows one or both of those to be 2.4Ghz or 5.
After doing some research and discovering that the 5Ghz band can be faster, I wanted to connect to it from my iMac. I have been unable to do so since first attempting...
I have a mid 2010 27" iMac i7 which came with a built-in AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x8F) wifi card.
So I have done a bunch of research on this issue and I think I understand the problem that I am having, however I do not understand what (if any) my solutions can be. It appears that when an AirPort interface is turned on, it listens for 802.11d beacon packets, and those contain what it called a regulatory domain field. Then the Airport driver uses the first valid regdomain setting it sees. In my case it is picking up a strong beacon from a neighbors house. The problem is that his router is set with a country code of ZW (Zimbabwe)! This my problem.... Zimbabwe's regulatory laws prohibit the routers to support channels above 13, or at least this one does, I don't fully understand it, but I get the gist.
So what this means is that I can not use my iMac to connect to my new router because quite simply the channels that 5Ghz broadcasts on are not even available.
I know this has been a topic of discussion in the past, but I couldn't find a good answer as to what to do. So... What can I do to get my 5Ghz network working?
Thanks in adavance!
Cheers

It sounds like when the Internet went down, the modem got "confused" and didn't remember that the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) was connected to it.
Please try the following:
o Power-down the modem, AEBSn & computers. Order is not critical.
o While the power is off, check to see if the modem employs a backup batter. If it does, temporarily remove it, and then, replace it.
o Power-on the modem. If it has one, press and hold the modem's reset button for at least 3-5 seconds. After power-up or reset, wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s).
Your computers should be able to access the Internet (& access web sites) now. Please post back your results.

I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect. I did get connected vis TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest.

Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Can't Connect to any WiFi network

I just got my iPhone yesterday and I'm already having a serious problem,I can't connect to any WiFi networks.
I can see the networks around me and I can select networks that I've setup and I know are open or I know the security passwords, I can even enter the network passwords for the ones that require them and it accepts them without complaint. When I select a network I get a little check mark next to that network which I assumes means it should be connected to that network. However, the iPhone never actually connects to them, i.e. no IP address, no router no nothing in the network settings screen for each network, and always appears to the using the Edge wireless network when accessing the internet.
I've tried DHCP and static IP but neither works.
I updated the phones software to 1.1.4, has anybody reported problems like this with this or any version of the software.
Any help would be much appriciated.
If I can't get this resolved today I'm returning to the AT&T store tonight for a new one.
Thanks
Matt S.

theevilone,
I have personally used an iPhone with routers from D-Link, Netgear, Linksys, Apple and Belkin.
Some routers, regardless of manufacturer need to have their firmware updated. Generally speaking if you look at the release notes, the same updates that resolve issues with DHCP for game systems and PDAs, also resolves them for the iPhone.
In addition hardware or MAC address filtering can cause issues where you connect to the network and not get DHCP.
Hope this helps,

How can i connect ipad mini wifi+celluar to 2g internet plan

Hello Sir!
After weeks of testing, i found the solution of my question. It´s quiet simply!!
1º iPhone (3G Internet acess) connected to Mac mini by USB or BlueTooth or WiFi.
2ª in Mac mini must be activated in "Preferencias", "Compartir", the option "Compartir Internet",
     "Compartir Conexión desde":   iPhone USB or Bluetooth PAN
     "Con otros Ordenadores vía": Ethernet
3º Ethernet cable must be connected from Mac mini to Time Capsule !!
4º In Time Capsule "Internet": connect by: DHCP
                             "Network": bridged
Nothing more!!! Sooooo simply!!
After this, Windows XP SP3 connect without problem over TC´s WiFi or Ethernet to the Internet!
Also other Devices like IPad, or other iPhone, etc.
Of course it can be a created a WiFi connection (PPP) between the iPhone and the Mac
and it´s working to.
But ALWAYS, by changing the connection mode, must be changed the Thethering mode.
In- and Out-Going!
Thank you for your help, no I made me a "small" TC expert...lol

How come I can't connect to my wifi on my iPad? My other think pads are connecting. I reset all my settings and nothing. We have a jet pack and I can connect to that?

I can't connect to our wifi. All our other think pads are connected. We have a jet pack and am able to connect...but why not our two think pads? I reset my settings and still doesn't work? Thx

Try rebooting the router. Whether or not it is working with other devices does not matter.

The wierd thing is that i can connect to the network when i remove the security password, i use the WPK security. But i don't want to have it open like that all the time, what can be worng?
Thankful for help!

Here's the encryption protocols that I know - WEP, WPA, WPA2. I'm not familiar with WPK.
When you set up your router WEP is the least preferred as it requires that limit your password characters based on the strength of encryption (5 characters, 48 bit; 13 characters, 128 bit). For WPA and WPA2 you have a choice between personnel and enterprise. Personnel is what you want for home use. You should also see the term PSK (pre-shared key) which just means that all devices use the same password.
Passwords on the touch are case sensitive so be sure considering that when typing.

Can't connect to my wifi. Err msg is incorrect password. Could it be WPA vs. WEP?

Can't connect to my WiFi. Msg is incorrect password. I am typing it correctly! All my other devices connect to my WiFi no problem. My wireless router is WPA. The only options on Apple TV menu is WEP. Is this a problem?

Yes, that is the problem.

Can't connect to my wifi it says ( a connection timeout occurred) !!

Sometimes, but not all the time, network colision does happen. That may cause your "connection timed out" message. It may also be caused by having too many devices hooked up and you are getting an ip address that's already being used.
If you know how to configure your netgear router, try to get into it's settings and see how many devices are actually hooked up and start taking some off that aren't being used.
Also, go to the wireless section of your router and see what channel it's on. Usually defaults at channel 7. Try changing that channel until you get a good connection with your MB.

Try reseting network settings.

Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi. (This is probably not practical in your situation.)
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

No. You can have one or the other. How the printer connects does not have to match how the computers connect.
