Windows 11 laptop keeps defaulting to 2.4Gb instead of 5Gb using nordvpn

Max hub close to windows pro 11 laptop. Using nordvpn. Keeps defaulting to 2.4Gb instead of 5Gb channel. Both channels have same name 2.4 and 5 trying to change that and also wonder if nordvpn proxy is somehow interfering. I tried disabling 2.4 but then my wife's older mobile can't connect to WiFi (big problem) Any suggestions

Use an ethernet cable?

 

Incidentally it's GHz rather than Gb.

Look at the properties of your WiFi card, there may be an option to prefer 5GHz. Although if this is the usual problem of the Hub's WiFi being pants, that won't help.

 

Maybe download a WiFi analyser to your phone so you can see what's going on.
