If your network is using the 2.4Ghz band, then I recommend creating a 5Ghz only band on your router and forgetting the other network and join the new network. The type of network is dictated by the router and many are still using the older 2.4Ghz band. It is easily congested with multiple devices that cause interference and problems with dropping Wi-Fi.


You can verify the band that is being used from your Mac by holding the Option key and clicking the WiFi icon in the menu bar. The band will be shown under Channel.
