Hello I have a Pixel 4 (US store), but it can't find 5GHz networks working on channels 36, 40, 44, 48, only upper channels are working, does anyone knows how to unlock all channels? this is not a problem in my router as other devices works without problems.
Also if I put my phone in airplane mode -> restart the phone -> turn wifi on and it finds and connect such 5GHz network
Any ideas? maybe a magisk module to change wifi region to unknown?
thanks!

Is there any way to set prefered wi-fi ??
Like "wifi priority" (IN cm 10.1 on my phone) ?
with Wi-Fi frequency set to auto... I lose 5Ghz netrorks --> "not in gange" when connected to 2.4G network"
Only way to connect..t to 5G network is to reboot or manually select 5g band..
How to fix that ?
Thanks..
I have not used it (yet) but try wifi prioritizer on Google Play. It looks like you can drag around each access point into the order of priority.
Updated: this kept disabling connections for some reason. Might not for you but I've uninstalled it.
This functionality should be in stock android as I want it to stay on my 5gig network by default.

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.
Hi Guys,
I Bought 3weeks ago A galaxy s6 Edge plus(SM-928C) Its on Official Samsung Android(6.0.1) and not rooted.

but I again switching wifi off/On my wifi device is freezing on rebooting.
My Region : Iran
Router Region : japan
I Waiting for your helping.
I didn't understand your post fully, but what I do know is Channel 12 and 13 are crap.
12/13/14 are designed for 802.11b if I'm not wrong and only used in Japan.
Use Channel 1, 6 or 11 for better performance, and if you can set your device region to Iran instead of Japan.
Differences in transmit power, and frequency could land you in trouble.

You can only change from 2.4 to 5GHz if your router supports the 5GHz band.

Hi all,
Nexus 6p on 8.1.0 here.
Baseband 3.85
Phone looses both WiFi and cellular for a second, regains cellular and reconnects to WiFi every minute or so.
Only happens with home WiFi.
So far tried:
- Changing WiFi bands from 2.4 to 5hz and both
- Fixating a specific unpopulated channel on both bands
- Granting a static IP to the device
- Resetting network settings
All other devices on the network are fine.
Any suggestions? It is driving me crazy
I just got my new 6gb variant yesterday and was able to connect to wifi without any problem. After a while it got disconnected and was not able to see my network. i was able to connect to all other networks but only my home network was not there. by checking i came to know the router automatically switched to 13 channel(uk band) due to congestion. and phone is not detecting it. when my router is on 1-11 channel its able to sense the ssid, only when on 12 or 13 channel its not able. so is there a way to enabling all the channels. NON ROOT versions plz.
My friend had the same issue. After some search I found this post where they had same issue with different phone. When we inserted SIM card and restarted phone, the WiFi networks on channel 12 and 13 appears in WiFi network list.
