Hi

I am new to Linux and noticed this with both LMDE Mate and LMDE Cinnamon. I found two ways to resolve this and have typed both of them, below:

Method 1

How I did it was to go into terminal and run the below

sudo iwlist scan

That showed all available SSID's including my 2.4 G one (which was currently connected) and the 5 G one as shown below:

Code: Select all

          Cell 07 - Address: xx:xx:xx:xx.xx.xx
                    Channel:52
                    Frequency:5.26 GHz (Channel 52)
                    Quality=56/70  Signal level=-54 dBm  
                    Encryption key:on
                    ESSID:"-GM8PKL-VLAN-V-"
I then highlighted the MAC address from the above (represented by the xx:xx:xx:xx.xx.xx) and used 'edit' -> 'copy' to copy it.

I then clicked on the wireless applet on the task bar and selected 'network settings'

Next bit is Cinnamon interface, but I have done the same when testing Mate

From the networking panel that popped up, I clicked on the arrow next to my current connection (-GM8PKL-VLAN-V-, which is on 2.4 G) and then on the next pannel, click on 'settings' button.

This pops up another panel showing the connection name (SSID) etc.

Paste the copied MAC address (for the 5G radio) into the BSSID field (which will currently be showing your 2.4 G radio's MAC address) and then hit the save button (this same panel is available in Mate, but slightly different steps to get to it; less of them from memory) and close the panel.

Now disconnect and reconnect (click wireless applet on task bar and select wireless off, then after a few seconds, wireless on).

You should now find it connected to the 5G radio.

Method 2

Another way is to temporarily disable the 2.4 G radio in your WAP and then it will be forced to use the 5 one. When that happens, you'll see the 5G MAC address in the above panel and you can simply select it and hit save. The reason I've typed this easier method second is that I'd expect some WAP's might not let you disable one of the two radios.

Verify it's now on the desired band:

You can verify that by doing the below:

Code: Select all

briain@debhp ~ $ sudo iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:"-GM8PKL-VLAN-V-"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:5.26 GHz  Access Point: xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx  
          Bit Rate=240 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=60/70  Signal level=-50 dBm  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:62  Invalid misc:45   Missed beacon:0
Well it all worked here, so hopefully it will also work in your case. I used the second method when trying LMDE Mate and it worked well (without first disabling the 2.4 G radio, you don't get the 5 G radio's MAC address in the drop down list). I used the second method in the LMDE Cinnamon release as I didn't wish to disable the 2.4 G radio (as my 2.4 G VoIP phones would stop working).
