Problem with 5GHz network connection


Hello
Recently I installed CentOS on my Laptop (Lenovo G50-80), but I can't connect to my 5GHz network
I installed CentOS alongside Debian, and in Debian, I don't have a similar problem, and the interesting part is that when I was installing CentOS (Partitioning, Selecting Time Zone, ...) I connected to the same 5GHz network (I got my IP address and Time zone was set automatically, and during the installation, some packages were downloading too [Totally I mean connection was successful])

I downloaded firmware and copied it to /lib/firmware and restarted my PC but nothing happened
"iwlwifi-3160-ucode-25.30.14.0.tgz" from this page https://www.intel.com/content/www/us...etworking.html

I give you some outputs that might help:

Code:
$ lspci | grep -i wireless

I don't have a definitive answer here, but some suggestions to investigate further.

1) Can you also post the following filtered kernel messaging?
Code:
dmesg | egrep "iwl|firmware"
2) Do you have the crda (regulatory domain agent) package installed? Not sure if that is needed, but sometimes used to explicitly set a country code (to provide for allowed frequencies and TX power)
Code:
iw reg get
3) I note that your device currently allowed to use the following 5GHz frequencies....
Code:
* 5745 MHz [149] (22.0 dBm) (no IR)
* 5765 MHz [153] (22.0 dBm) (no IR)
* 5785 MHz [157] (22.0 dBm) (no IR)
* 5805 MHz [161] (22.0 dBm) (no IR)
* 5825 MHz [165] (22.0 dBm) (no IR)
Does your AP use one of those 5GHz channels?

4) Have you tried scanning for a 5GHz AP?
Code:
sudo iwlist scan
