cannot activate 5g on D-link daw-182 rev D.1 chipset: RTL8812BU

[sollted]

This driver was only one that worked for me but I still can activate 5g on my ubuntu

I made file 88x2bu.conf in /etc/modprobe.d the led control is set to 2 in order to test if the file has any effect on the wifi adapter

in this file is:

options 88x2bu
rtw_ips_mode=1
rtw_drv_log_level=4
rtw_power_mgnt=2
rtw_led_ctrl=2
rtw_wireless_mode=16

I tried without the first line because I am not sure about it : options 88x2bu second try with 88x2bu.conf in /etc/modprobe.d:

rtw_ips_mode=1
rtw_drv_log_level=4
rtw_power_mgnt=2
rtw_led_ctrl=2
rtw_wireless_mode=16

my ubuntu version (uname -a):

Linux a-MacBookPro 5.19.0-41-generic #42~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Apr 18 17:40:00 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried other rtw_wireless_modes but every time it was set to 2.412 GHz

any help is much appreciated

Thanks for quick response. after connecting to 5GHz network It is working correctly. I am new to all of this and probably wouldn't find this problem.
