I noticed that my auto weekly backup of my Macrium Reflect disc images was running really slowly on my backup laptop this morning (Data was transferring at around 40+ Mbps instead of the usual 700-900 Mbps) and when I checked my Wi-Fi connection it showed that the laptop had connected to the 2.4 GHz network, even though I was only about 6 feet from the router. I disconnected from the network and then reconnected. This time it connected to the 5 GHz band with full signal strength. I haven't changed any of the default settings in the ASUS router, so what could have caused this to happen? The only thing I did notice was that Windows had designated the network as "public", probably because this was the first time I had connected this laptop to my main network. Could that have anything to do with it?
