Smart plug on 5 GHz Network
I’m in college and I want to set up either Parsec or Moonlight so I can stream games from my PC when I go home for weekends. However, I don’t want to leave my desktop on constantly, so I tried to set up wake on lan to be able to turn my PC on from home but didn’t have any success. I then bought a smart plug and set up my bios to turn on when the plug is turned on. The problem is that my college WiFi network is 5 GHz and the smart plug I bought can only connect to 2.4 GHz. Obviously I can’t go into the server itself to switch to 2.4 GHz, so are there any workarounds to be able to connect the smart plug to the 5 GHz band or are there any smart plugs I can buy that are compatible with 5 GHz networks? Any help would be appreciated.
