At work we have dual band wifi G and N. When the laptop connects to that network it is getting 2 IP's instead of 1. The main problem is that nothing works, if I was still able to send/recieve traffic I really wouldn't care if it was getting to IP addresses.
I guess I could just set a static IP up but going in different buildings on different subnets on the same access point name, it will be come an issue.
Here is the output from ip

That sound plausible. Sometimes you can configure routers to adjust their function on each band.
I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.

I don't have access to the router really, its a huge network with 1000's of AP's so I need to find a way on the nic card it's self to only grab 1 IP or maybe use only one band G or N ? I've been digging around the past few days when I have time but still haven't found anyone with the same problem as me.

You could try to set the rate using iwconfig so that it only gets one or the other band.

Any examples ? I'm using network manager tho.

It would be in the man pages for iwconfig.

didnt work, oddly it is working in this building even tho I'm getting 2 IP's whats stranger is how ip and ifconfig show different outputs

im sure its because of it grabbing 235.0 is why it's working. When I get back to my office I will see, but changing the rate didn't work.

Did you down the interface first and then change the rate and then back up? You could've still had an active lease otherwise. Looks like each band has a different subnet.

Yeah I did it didnt work. Their has to be a way / command to disable one of the radios for G or N or to have dhcpcd/systemd only get 1 IP
Offline
Also I have searched high and low and can't seem to find anyone with the same problem and that is the strange part.
And what would the rate have to do with it only selecting one radio G or N ?
