[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1767154, member: 307555"] Q1. How far is the 2017 from the router? Distance is a consideration. 5G is a short range wireless signal. You could try to force it by turning off IPv4 but I have a feeling that would result in no connection. Q2. How are you determining if it is connecting to the IPv4 or IPv6? I can tell on my wireless as I have given each one a different SSID. When I am close to an access point I will pick up the 5G but as I move away with my MB Air, it will switch to the 2.4G. If distance and settings are not the issue I would give Apple a call as being a 2017, it is under applecare and it could be an aircard issue. Lisa [/QUOTE]
