Step-by-step Fix:
Many laptops (especially older or budget ones) only support 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, not 5 GHz.
If your Rain 101 modem is broadcasting 5 GHz only, your laptop simply won’t see it.
Fix:
- Log in to your Rain 101 5G modem settings (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).
- Look for Wireless Settings / SSID Settings.
- Make sure:
- Dual-band mode is enabled → both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are active.
- Or, create a separate 2.4 GHz SSID (e.g., Rain_2.4G).
- Then refresh Wi-Fi list on your laptop — dapat lumabas na.
- Press Windows + R → type ncpa.cpl → press Enter.
- Right-click your Wi-Fi adapter → Properties → Configure → Advanced tab.
- Look for:
- “Wireless Mode”, “Band”, or “Preferred Band”.
- Set it to Auto or 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (or ax).
If your adapter is very old (supports only 2.4 GHz), you can’t connect to 5 GHz no matter what.
To confirm, open Command Prompt and type:<span><span>netsh wlan </span><span><span>show</span></span><span> drivers<br></span></span>
Then check the line:
If it says only 802.11b/g/n → 2.4 GHz only
If it includes 802.11a/ac/ax → supports 5 GHz
- Go to Device Manager → Network adapters → [your Wi-Fi card].
- Right-click → Update driver → “Search automatically”.
- Or download the latest driver from your laptop manufacturer’s website.
Sometimes outdated drivers can cause missing SSIDs.
Some routers use channels (like 149–165) that are not allowed in certain countries, and your laptop’s Wi-Fi card may skip those channels.
Fix:
In your modem settings, change the 5 GHz channel to 36, 40, 44, or 48 (these are globally compatible).
If your laptop doesn’t support 5 GHz at all and you can’t enable 2.4 GHz on the Rain 101 modem:
- You can use a USB Wi-Fi adapter that supports dual-band (2.4 + 5 GHz).
They’re cheap and instantly solve the problem.
