Model: Archer A7  
Hardware Version: V5

Recently had TalkTalk fibre installed. My Inspiron 660 is not showing an option to connect to 5ghz.

Been trying for a few days to get an answer, can anyone help?

Thanks

@Neville1954 

 

Apparently at the time the Inspiron 660 was sold with an integrated "Dell Wireless 1506" card that only supports 2.4 GHz WiFi.

Is this the card that shows up in Windows Device Manager?

 

If you do want 5 GHz WiFi and if your Inspiron 660 still has a free PCIe slot available on its motherboard, then you could consider adding a modern Dual-Band WiFi card.
