Okay so I have an Asus G750JM ROG laptop and all of the sudden today it was acting very slow on my 5ghz wifi. I couldn't even get into my router page. I thought it was my modem and router being bad but when I switched it to the 2ghz wifi everything was fine. I power cycled my modem and router to see if that would fix it but it didn't. My router is an Asus RT-AC68U.

So I tried the 5ghz on my other devices and I was able to access my router page just fine. So I decided to do a system restore on my laptop but I'm a little scared now, should I get my laptop looked or is it something else?

What is the wireless card in your laptop? Are running on latest driver? Uninstall the card and reinstall, see what happens.
 
I did that and it didn't work. I see that 10 days ago Merlin released a new firmware. Could that fix it. Cause so far nothing seems to work and I'm using the 2.4ghz still.
 
Okay so funny thing, on a whim I decided to click forget my 5ghz network on my laptop so I could rejoin it. Well sure enough I was able to get my fast internet back working properly on my laptop. So yeah that wasted 2hrs of my life which I could of used for studying for college. :mad:
