everything seems to be working pretty good now. i've reinstalled
everything and switched between the 2 SSIDs and everything works far
better than it used to. Not sure what I did but whatever it was, I'm
super thankful that it's working great! I appreciate you waking up my
mind to this. It helped me a lot.

That depends. Most routers have the ability to offer separate SSIDs
for each band so to switch you would simply select the other network
name on your laptop network setup, however I notice that lately the
thing seems to be offer both bands under a single SSID and let the
router choose which band you use. Sounds like maybe what you have.
You may want to look at the router setup to see if you can split the
two bands apart. If not maybe someone here knows how to force your
card to pick one band over another.

hey luke, i don't even know how to force the card to use the 2.4ghz
band. my other laptops have no problem at all it seems. they only
have 802.11b/g/n cards and they seem fine. i can get closer to the
router with my lenovo and it does get better but it seems to drop the
signal anyway periodically. i can sit on the couch which is about
20-25ft from the router and it's just as intermittent as it is in the
bedroom which is farther away. but, there's a wireless camera behind
my head when i sit on the couch so i could switch sides and check it
out.
how do i force it to choose n?

Charlie,
Do you have problem with wifi on both bands, or just one of the two?
While AC is faster it is frequently more likely to drop out at range.

hello all from Apple Valley! I'm a member of the SoCal loco group
and I'm very happy to be on this email list now.
Some things are concerning and I'm about to start investigating
them. This concern pertains to my laptop which is a Lenovo Ideapad
310-15ABR and I run Ubuntu on it but man, I'm having the hardest
time keeping it connected to my wifi which is a brand new router
from Charter and it's an awesome setup since it supports 802.11ac
and it's dual channel and I've got a brand new Intel 3165
802.11ac/b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 wifi card in it that replaces a
Realtek model that came as standard equipment for the laptop.
I vetted the hardware thoroughly and got documentarion from Lenovo
confirming the approved models of wifi cards for my laptop and I
verified the new card with the vendor and I chose Intel, which I
try to do all the time, since Intel is fully supported by Ubuntu
and Linux in general.
I'm going to be taking my laptop to another location and connecting
to the wifi there too see how it performs.
My home is blanketed with various wireless signals from the
wireless alarm system, to the tv streaming devices (roku), and many
other things. I get the feeling that due to this, that's why my
connection always suffers.
But this is a preliminary assessment and I want to conduct thorough
investigations into this and try to get it figured out.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Charlie
