If the card and router is compatible with 5GHz (didn't check) and you use the computer on the proximity of the router try that it will give you more speed and usually the 5GHz spectrum is less saturated, at my home I can detect around 15 2.4GHz wireless networks and only 2-3 working on 5GHz.

OK thnx - trying the Lenovo 12.0.0.714 now on 2.4GHz first. Let's see... If it drops i'll try the 5GHz band. If it drops again i'll give up

Same speed and no hickups. Would that be right to say that the 2.4 part of my adapter is somehow partly broken for sure ? Or interfering with something and causes it to drop regularly ?

But latest month the internet drops started....so I guess it became unstable for some reason I don't know.

If it's close-by, it can interfere with your connection to that channel.

However, the last time that I had wifi problems - it turned out to be the router went bad. The cable company simply gave me a new modem/router, which fixed the problem.

I tried on different routers, different places and drops did happen on 2.4. Now on 5 GHz all is ok.

The router provided by the previously ISP didn't had that problem, now I have a new machine that uses 5GHz and on this band only one neighbor AP is detected.
