@filipbmxful -- my router has 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz wifi. 

 

Most modern routers have the hardware capability to offer those two networks.

 

Of course, one can configure the router to "disable" the 2.4 Ghz network, leaving the 5 Ghz network as the _only_ available network.

 

Also, some routers, when both network adapters are enabled, will be "tied" together. When a device tries to connect, the router will automatically try to connect to one network, and, if necessary, then to the other network.  So, your device will only show to which network that it has connected -- your device will not show the network that is not connected.

 

What is the manufacturer and model-number of your router?

Interesting.

 

As an experiment, can you disconnect from that network, and connect to the 2.4 Ghz network, to see if that change solves your problem?

 

A 5 Ghz network gives a stronger connection than a 2.4 Ghz network, but over a small distance.

If your WiFi-enabled device is in the same room as the router, both networks should offer a good connection.

@filipbmxful --  I don't think its a problem with the wifi box or smth

 

Since you state that your other WiFi-capable devices do not have a problem, I agree that the WiFi box is _not_ malfunctioning.

 

i believe it is some setting in my  laptop or smth went wrong or smth i do t know. i did all the updates.

 

It could be setting on your laptop, or it could be a problem with the WiFi network adapter hardware.

 

You could try purchasing a USB-to-WiFi adapter (about $40 ?), and "disabling" the built-in WiFi adapter, and connecting to your WiFi box through that new adapter, to see if that adapter works fine, or if your computer still shows the same symptoms.
