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.
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 All,
This issue is really weird my huawei media pad M3 is connecting every other wifi but it cant detect my home wifi for some reason
It used to detect the 2.4G now it completely stopped doing that
My wifi is dual band supporting 2.4G and 5G
My tablet only has wifi so no way to upgrade without connecting to wifi.
Model number BTV-W09
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 isn´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.

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

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.
