It may be that prior it switched down to 2.4ghz it stayed there. And that the change is every so often it tries to now go back to the higher bandwidth one. I know that on a single router, the 2.4Ghz signal has significantly better range and is more reliable so any weakness in the 5ghz signal from obstructions would cause you to switch to the 2.4. I used to have my wifi randomly drop on 5ghz and not even seem to reconnect at all to anything (so much I had a script that ping the gw and if not pingable or really slow restarted the connection but eventually I just disabled 5ghz to maintain stability), but after replacing the card with a newer intel AX200 wifi card it got much more stable and stays on the 5ghz band. 5ghz is tricky especially apparently with the older wifi cards, and it also seems to be worse depending on how new of technology the router has.

So it seems my Fedora laptop is toggling between the two bands. 74:83:c2:03:5e:61 is the 2.5 GHz and 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 is the 5 GHz. > > I'll provide the journalctl logs later. > > Thanks, > Scott > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
