5G WiFi Band not working after the Pie upgrade ! - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

So after upgrading my Galaxy S8 to Pie from Oreo I have noticed that when I am searching for my 5G WiFi network it is not showing up. In android oreo it used to work fine as the S8 supports the 5G WiFi band. My laptop & other devices can use the 5G band except my S8 with android pie.
Is there anyone else facing the problem or it's only me ?

if the 5ghz network sees it from the phone but does not connect, delete your 5ghz network and then enter the password

You asking about oneplus 2 phone?
Then it's hardware supports dual band wifi that means you can access your dual band wifi as well as can create hotspot of dual band, for enabling dual band hotspot you just need Android marshmallow in your phone, every marshmallow ROM supports it

i hope so, tried on OOS. the 5ghz band hotspot isnt working
It works on CM 14.1. My hotspot is able to host using 802.11ac. Bandwidth is 433mhz. Beats the pants off the 2.4ghz hotspot.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Try changing wifi band to 5ghz,
Settings, wifi, tree dot menu, advance

Is there any way to switch WiFi between 2.4 and 5ghz?

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge running android 7.0
I'm trying to add some Sonoff devices to my works WiFi network, via the eWeLink app. The app only supports 2.4ghz but my phone has a preference for the 5ghz network. Both 2.4 and 5ghz are using the same SSID and because of other devices connected I can't rename one or temporarily turn off 5ghz...
Any way round this other than buying an old phone or tablet just for adding devices?

My wifi is dual band supporting 2.4G and 5G
My tablet only has wifi so no way to upgrade without connecting to wifi.

Build number:BTV-W09C128B356
EMUI VERSION :5.0.3
aNDROID VERSION :7.0
Any help will be really appreciated
Thanks

Try different SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. If this isnĀ“t possible then temporary deactivate the 5GHz WiFi so that there is only one (identical) SSID active.
Change channel of your WiFi radio. Please Google how if you don't understand. I had to change channel of my 5ghz at home in order for this tablet to recognize 5ghz.

Issue with network (wifi and cellular)

Hello
Do you face the same issue like me ?
Oxygen OS 10.5.2.IN11BA (Model IN2023)
The phone seems to stop using the network (WIFI and cellular data) for few seconds/minutes.
This happen on internet with all app, so I get blank screen on app, timeout messages and even locally using my NAS (so not using internet) with same timeout.
My OLD OnePlus 7 Pro do not face this issue on same network (WIFI and celullar)
Same device and version, do not get the same issues. No problems with both wifi and 4g connectivity at all.
Seems that the Wifi 5G is the source issue. This is very annoying
I didn't specify, but it was 5Ghz wifi in my case as well, no problems.

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.
