Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 - Where is the dual band?

Hi.

I am new on this forum, sorry if it was already answered on some previous topic, I didnt found anything like this.

I would like to ask you how can I enable my AC 7265 to use both bands (2 and 5 GHz) at same time?

Also, I cant see any option related to the wireless mode = "C" technology, please see the attached file.

I am using the driver 18.33.0.1 (05/01/2016) on Windows 10.

Any suggestion?

Thanks everyone!!!!

Rafael

News: I just updated the driver to version 18.40.0.9 (25/02/2016) and I still CANT see the "C" technology under the "Wireless Mode" option.

rafael.vilela,

 

 

By default, this adapter comes with 2.4GHz and 5GHz enabled. However, if you want to use AC capabilities you need to change the HT Mode to VHT Mode and set the Preferred Band to Auto so the adapter can connect to either band at a time depending on the network.
