I've seen specifications tables that list the WiFi as 2.4GHz only, and some as dual band (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz). So, which is it?

Does anyone managed to use an 802.11ac dualband wifi?
I just purchased that kind of router and set output for 2 bands: 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
I tried giving both 2.4Ghz band and 5GHz the same SSID name but that didn't work so I separated them so now I can see on my Xperia Z3 compact both 5 and 2.4 wifi names on the list but I can only connect one of them..
If I'm connected to 5G and I simply press the connect option on the 2.4G it switches to the 2.4 and disconnect the 5..
Is there something special that should be setup to make it work?
You don't connect to both bands at the same time. Just use 5ghz for devices that support it and 2.4 for the rest.
Really?? So why does it called dual?
My laptop supports 802.11n with 5GHz so they are the same?
There is Hardware that can use both bands at the same time, but that doesnt mean your Smartphone can do this too.
gsmarena clearly says it supports 802.11ac dual-band

Can you please explain how do you understand that it can't support real 802.11ac
Dual band here means 2,4 or 5. Ac is commonly used at 5ghz. You are asking for simultanious dual band. This is available, but you need special hardware for this.
Dual band means, your device support both frequency 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac mean standards (speed), you can't connect to both network to the same time.
it's work on sony xperia z?
5,8Ghz is different frecuency. Imho, no android devices have 5,8Ghz wifi.

Okay I think I got it now thanks for the clarification.
I have no SSID list in 5G frequency with my MiMax 32G and my wife 64G (ROM is MIUI 8.1.6.0 Global ). My router is Cisco WRT610 Dual Band and even tested with TP-Link AC750 Dual Band, both of them have tow 2.4G and 5G broadcasting.
Anyone has working 5G band, or this is due to country specific restrictions setting by Xiaomi?
Hi there
A bit disapointed with wifi transfer rate on my A5 2017: 72mbps in 2.4G and 150 in 5Ghz band. This when I'm very close to the router
With a Huawei P8 lite 2017 I have 135mbps or even 150 in 2.4G. No 5ghz band though with this model.
Everybody is limited to 72mbps in 2.4G band ? No way to have a better rate ?
Thanks.
So is it supposed to support 5Ghz or not ?
Yes 5GHz is supported, I am using it with my LINKSYS Router which supports both 2.4, and 5
