Realtek RTL8723BE Wireless Adapter

[Mainer36]

Adapter will only operate in b/g mode and not N. Also, will not recognize 5Ghz band.

The driver has been updated to the latest version on the website.

Also, the wireless mode properties in the wireless setup on shows b/g but no N.

Is there a special setup for running in N mode? Is this a dual band card?

thanks

Hi:

That model card is only capable of transmitting and receiving on the 2.4 Ghz b/g/n wireless band.

It cannot work on the 5.0 GHz a/n band.

[Mainer36]

what about running in Nmode on the the 2.4Ghz band? The option does not appear in properties.

thanks

Unfortunately, I don't know why there isn't an 'n' option in the advanced settings.

Is the card only connecting at 54 MBPS?

A single band 1 x 1 wireless N card should be connecting at 72 MBPS with the 2.4 GHz band set on mixed mode.

You can verify the connection speed by going to the control panel>network and internet>network and sharing center, and click on your established wireless connection.

A window will open up and show you the actual connection speed.
