Hi everyone,
I just picked up my x1 carbon today and installed arch. For some reason i'm unable to connect to my wireless network via 2.4Ghz, only 5Ghz. I had the same problem from the install media as i do post-install. wifi-menu and NetworkManager (running kde) are unable to connect via 2.4Ghz using WPA.

Thank you for any help!

I think if you try to connect to company's wireless facilities which are enterprise class AP such as WPA2 Enterprise, probably administrator enabled BAND SELECTOR feature in wireless controller.
Whenever AP detects 5G-able clients (which is 802.11a) and force them off to the 5.0Ghz but the client tries to connect to stronger one which is 2.4Ghz AP by automatic roaming feature in OSX and most of Linux OS because client system always tries to find best AP among neighbors (same BSS) even during connection is established and 802.11b/g (2.4Ghz) is more powerful transmission signal strength than 5.0Ghz by nature of frequency spectrum. So, ping-pong effect happens between two different APs -- 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz.
Ask to Admin whether they did or not.
