Laptop will connect to 5 GHz wifi band, but not the 2.4 GHz from same router.

I have tried resetting and reinstalling the network adapter, but my laptop will not connect to the 2.4 GHz band at all, every time it says "Can't connect to this network" after the password is put in. This isn't that big of a deal because it connects to the 5Ghz band, but the signal strength is weak in my room, and it occasionally drops out. I am tired of this happening, any advice besides buying a dual band range extender?

Acer laptop, OS is Windows 10, the modem/router is a Technicolor TC8717T from Spectrum, and the adapter is a Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB22, if that might help.
