[Q] Galaxy S4 not detecting 5GHz wifi

So i have a week old galaxy S4 and everything is fine until i realise that it only sees and connects to my 2.4Ghz SSID. I use a dual-band sitecom WL-309 extreme gaming router. My laptop, ipad and galaxy tab can scan and connect to the 5Ghz SSID. I'm really surprised that a phone that boasts 802.11ac isn't even able to see 5ghz wifi. i recently installed the wifi analyzer app, and it doesn't help, can only still see 2.4.
I recently upgraded my firmware to the indian MEA stock ROM. Dunno if anyone out there has experienced this, help apprectiated.
Thanks
I saw in a post that wifi channel may be the problem, my router has the following 5ghz channel options: auto,36,40,44 and 48. Just tried all and still no joy.
im having the same problem exaclly.
i cant see any 5Ghz network at all.
i tried replacing channels on my router and still. cant see.

[Q] i9505 5ghz WiFi Issue

At home I have a 2.4ghz and 5ghz Wifi network setup.
My S4 is always connected to the 5ghz and has never had any problems. My partners iDevices are also connected to it.
The other day when I got home I noticed that I kept getting the error 'Your internet connection is unstable' and couldn't use the 5ghz if I wasn't directly in front of the router. No settings had changed, no updates etc. It will discover and connect to the network but it won't load webpages or anything.
There is no new firmware for my router, I have tried all the different channels, and have even reset the router, and as a temporary fix I've only been using the 2.4ghz network. My iPad still works fine on the 5ghz anywhere in the house, and my partner has had no issues.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone have a solution?
I'm running the stock 4.3 on the phone as I haven't even tried flashing it.

did you changed some wifi settings on your phone ??
cos if that happens you have to match the settings same both on pc{ of router } and phone
even if you are sure that you haven't changed anything just make sure and check the settings again

[Q] Lollipop 5ghz wifi

Hi all,
Is anyone having problems connecting to 5ghz bands on their N4?
I reconnected a simultaneous dual-band router that I used while my N4 was on KitKat. It would connect on the 5ghz band without issues, and I could view the 5ghz bands on inSSIDer. I installed the Lollipop factory image and now I cannot view or connect to my router over 5ghz, only 2.4ghz. Setting a different SSID, changing channels and widths does not help.

I'm having the same issue. It doesn't detect any 5 ghz wifi even if I set it to 5 ghz wifi only. I've flashed the factory image a second time thinking that might fix it but it doesn't.
I'm at work now where we have multiple 5ghz networks, and I can't see any of them. Any ideas on what I can do about this? Report a bug somewhere?
I have the the same problem. I've tried high number and low number channels on my Nighthawk using factory firmware default settings.
I solved the issue by reverting to kitkat 4.4.4. I think Google still has some work to do on 5.0.
i've the same problem.... i also thought to revert to KK but dont have the time for it....
i just wish google will fix the 5GHz issue and i wish for black theme (hate this bright white)

i think, the SSID name is the problem?! i'm at work and we have also multiple 5ghz SSIDs. SSIDs without any special character will be shown.
but i have one more problem with wifi. sometimes the phone can't reactivate the wifi module after i used bluetooth in the car. only restart helps
Yeah, I've been having the same issue since upgrading to lollipop.
I remember those issues with one of the older versions of android, but on 4.4.4 all was fine, I could see the networks and connect to them.
Now I no longer see any of the 5Ghz networks.

My nexus 4 (with Lollipop) behaves a bit differently. It does see 5GHz networks when set to 5GHz only, but doesn't see them in automatic mode.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION - WiFi drop Connection

Just disable ipv6 on your Modem/Router and you are good to go, no more DROPS in your WiFi signal.
If your modem doesn't have the option to disable ipv6, you can alternatively create an ad-hoc network while this is not patched by Oneplus.
This was tested today in oneplus forum, so it may not solve the issue for all the users.
Let US know if this worked for you.
Cheers
I have other problem, same SSID for 2.4 and 5 GHz, and OnePlus is switching between them when I am little further form the router (so 5GHz drops a bit in range). So for example going to bathroom I have to wait there until connection to play my spotify
Will this work too?

Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T595 Bizarre WiFi issue - Only sees 5GHz Networks

Hello
I have a Galaxy Tab A 2018 SM-T595 tablet which is fully functional in all aspects apart from the fact it cannot see any 2.4ghz wifi networks. My home router has separate bands for 2.4 and 5ghz. The tab can see the 5ghz network as well as neighbouring 5ghz networks absolutely fine. It connects and is all good. This is fine at home but when out most networks are 2.4ghz. Even using third party wifi scanning apps does not detect a single 2.4ghz network. I have tried updating the tablet (currently running Android 10) and even downgrading via Odin to an earlier firmware. I have even had the back off and checked the two antenna are firmly connected and have continuity between the wifi board and the main board, which I do. Any ideas cos I am plum baffled.
