I just upgraded my TWN H815 to v20c and now I don't see the 5GHz network on my Asus RT-AC68U router - only the 2.4GHz network. Has anyone else managed to access a 5GHz network on MM on the G4?

Make sure your Asus router is using only lower or higher channel numbers for 5Ghz. Many android devices seem to have problems with the DFS channels in the middle (50-144).
OK so I tried selecting the "Auto select channel including DFS channels" on the router and now the phone can see the 5Ghz network. I have no idea why though!

Do you know what channel you were on before vs. now? I encountered this problem a few years ago and solved it by hard coded the channel to 153 I believe. Currently I'm using an RT-AC66U with the same hard coded channel and it works fine with my H812 G4 running MM. If you go for hard coded, just make sure you don't pick a channel that is already occupied by another router (you can use the Site Survey feature to check what's in use.)
No sorry I didn't check (

Hello,
I cannot connect to my AP on 5 Ghz
It sees it, it asks for password, but then disconnect and reconnect endlessly
Any idea why
Cheers.
One X does not support 5GHz wifi. I see only 2.4GHz in official spec
Oups, I thought it could as i can see it
Switch your router to 2.4, and it will work
I thought it was 2.4ghz only cos of the specification too but i can connect to my 5ghz frequency on my Netgear WNDR3700.
I can see and connect to my Netgear 5Ghz WNDR4500 no problem at all.
You guys can tell me what parameters do you use for your 5ghz ?
Thanks.
My router is fairly new, just bought it 2 months ago. I didnt change any of the settings, just plug & play. Even didnt change the router password.
The problem is with Linksys router's wireless .
even in my house we used to have a Linksys router , kept on disconnected when over 3 devices are connected to it , keeps on disconnected every 2-3 minutes really.
changed the router , and everything is smooth now

WIFI Channel 44
WPA2 AES encryption
Up to 300 Mbps speed setting
5Ghz a/n network types.
That's all the settings that i've configured, although it works out of the box with stock netgear settings too.......

I have seen some places (specs) where is doesn't show the 5GHz, but the phone supports it.
Not able to connect with 5Ghz WiFi AP

I have tried to double check this spec on the HTC offical website and it does indicate this phone supports WiFi 5Ghz, as it is with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n
htc.com/us/products/htconex-att#tech-specs
however, i have tried to link with a DLink router, DIR-857, and it sees the 2.4Ghz SSID and could connect without any problem, however, not able to see 5Ghz SSID though, i have also tried to set no security and with different channels but seems not have any lucky to this.
i am wondering is there any particular setting to the phone or router double checked with customer service but seem not really help, only ask me to change and try with another AP or router.....
I'm connected to my 802.11a AP with no problems at all. Ditto for 802.11g. I don't have 802.11n here so no idea if that affects it or not.
I didn't need to do anything special on the phone. The AP is a Cisco AP1242AG and it has the usual configuration with WPA2-PSK.

same as that, i didnt have to configure the phone at all. i just scanned, found the network and connected using WPS push button. Im on 802.11n as well
I got new dual band router. My Mac Air can see and use 5GHz SSID but M8 does not see it at all - it only lists 2.4GHz SSID. I tried to set the frequency band to "5GHz only" on M8 - the list of networks is empty in that case. The firmware is stock lollipop, rooted. The channel I am using is 149.
Any advice? Thank you
SOLVED: the channel 149 is used in China. For the Europe, the channgel 36 is more compliant. Just in case if that will help to anybody.
I have a 500cl model Zenfone 2, the Taiwan version. I'm having trouble seeing my dads 5g wifi network at his home.
The network mode is set to A/N/AC-Mixed and the wireless channel is set to Auto.
I understand there are some limitations to the channels or something in the phone in terms of 5g radio. I really don't know. I'm a total noob. It would be nice to be able to connect to the 5g wifi though. I can't even see it in my list at the moment.
The networks works fine itself, as we have a number of other devices connected already. Just can't get my zenfone to spot it.
I do not have any issue with wifi 5ghz
When i was at a friends i couldn't see his 5g ac router at all i did some research and found a old thread said to put the channel on 159 and sure enugh soon as we did it my phone was able to see it and connect. At home my phone finds my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz with my wireless n router but connected at max of 74Mbps so i did some tweaking and found certain channels the phone woudn't see the 5Ghz band anymore but at 157 found it again and connected at 150Mbps both me and my friend run ddwrt on our routers.
Try changing the channel. My phone connects to my 5GHz network automatically without hassle and will switch from 2.4GHz to 5GHz preferentially when I come in from the backyard for example.
Hello everyone I have an LG G7 ThinQ model number LM-G710EMW,
Now my phone started doing this thing where it wont detect and if it detects it wont connect to SOME 5Ghz AP's.
At first I noticed this on my Home Router, a TP-Link Archer C20 AC, and I thought it was the router so I factory reset it, to no dice.
Then I thought It was the network settings in my phone and I did a reset on those, to still no dice, finally I was like it must be the phone, and I factory reseted my phone, and YET IT DIDNT CONNECT.
A few days later I was visiting my parents house and they have this CHEAP NEXT 5Ghz Router, and it did connect to that one, I was like AHA, IT IS MY ROUTER. That same day I configured a UniFi AC LR AP (a $100 AP) and on that one IT DID NOT CONNECT NOR DISCOVERED THE 5GHZ SSID.
So its not my router.
I have no issues with 2.4Ghz Routers or AP's.
Any ideas?
Could be a channel issue. I've run into this in the past with other phones, where my router would select certain channels depending on the surrounding wireless neighborhood. Turns out it didn't like some channels, especially ones towards the higher end of the spectrum (Channels 161, 165). Perhaps that's the problem. If you're comfortable, log into your router at home and see what the channel width is set to (20, 40, or 80 MHz) and then take a look at which channel (or channel range, depending on the width of said channel) it's set to (most likely Auto). The router chooses channels based on how busy the the neighborhood is. So if you have a lot of neighbors with WiFi networks of their own, it'll try to choose a channel that they aren't using to mitigate interference. Select a channel or channel range that's highlighted in this picture. And I know it says North America, but I believe Europe and Japan use the same channels.
Thank you very much for the reply and a fast one,
I will try to do that then, what do you mean by highlighted?
I usually leave 2.4Ghz to 20Mhz and 5Ghz to 40Mhz.. is this ok?
Is there any better config?
Thanks,

The channels that are colored green in the picture. 36,40,44,48 and 149,153,157,161,165.

This is optimal in my experience. The 2.4 GHz band is super crowded, so having it set to a channel width of 20 MHz is the only real option. 5 GHz at 40 MHz is good, if you have a lot of neighbors that also have WiFi, this is the best channel width to select for for performance without your bandwidth being stepped on by nearby 5 GHz networks on the same channel.
Because you're using a 40 MHz channel width on your 5 GHz SSID, it takes up two channels, as illustrated in the picture I posted in my previous comment. Some routers don't go up to channel 165, so your only real choices here are 36-40, 44-48, 149-153, and 157,161. You want to try to select a channel that isn't in use by neighboring WiFi networks. two WiFi networks on the same channel can lead to worse wireless performance. The router tries to do this automatically but sometimes will select channels that certain devices are fussy about. Some routers can give you a site survey and show you the other channels in use in the area of your home. If yours doesn't do this, you can download any number of apps to survey the wireless networks in your area instead. Basically, try changing the channel selection to a different choice and see if your phone can connect.

Samen issue heren with g7
Howto fix this?
You need to dial *#546368#*710# in order to enter into engineering menu.
After this follow Field Test-WiFi Test-Ota Settings. Press Disable then Enable.
Now switch on wifi and 5ghz should be available.
Brilliant tip by valyunin. Solved my issue on lg g7 thinq. now my wifi speeds is 800 Mbps and more
Hi!!
I just bought a new tab s4, and I can not connect it to the 5ghz wifi network. It connects, but says connected without internet. The 2.4GHz network connects perfectly.
PS. Sorry for my English.
Same issue.
My tablet is TIM branded.
Same issue, it connects on 2.4ghz but not on 5ghz...
Anyone?
HI peep's mine is connected to 5 GHz and it’s working flawlessly, it’s showing a connected speed of 866MBPS!
Quick questions, did you try a reboot router and Tab S4 once connected to 5GHZ ?
Also are you using separate WPA2 PSK key ?
As some routers can’t handle separate keys, keep the Wi-Fi key same for both channels i.e 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ!
Does it get ip address from the router/dhcp server you have?
I don't have access to a 5Ghz wifi right now. Next week I'll try the tablet and I'll try everything you said. If the new tablet has the same problem of course, I hope it goes well.

See below and bands i have Separate bands!
Galaxy-Tab-S4
dual stack
Galaxy-Tab-S4
device info type 5 GHz
IP address: 000.000.0000 (DHCP)
MAC address: 77:EE:00:FFD:00
I have the same problem and I noticed that it came with the Anroid Pie update! 2,4G is working fine in my S4.
I have another tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition and 5G Wifi is working flawlessly.
Might it be software issue in Android 9?
My basebandversion is T835XXU3BSF4, kernel 4.4.153-16124683 #2 Fri Jun 14 2019.
My Tab S4 was ,finally, updated to Android 9. 5GHz working fine. Both 5GHz and 2.4GHz working fine...
All good here...
I got one coming in the mail and will report back on my success but if you don't get internet trying setting your dns manually to Google's public one for testing. 8.8.8.8 Could also be related to the channel the router is using for 5ghz.
Malcolm
Okay, so I got a new tab s4, and I have the same problem. At the second floor of my house, I don't connect to the 5Ghz wifi. I have separated bands. I tried changing the channel... I don't know what else try.

5GHz WiFi has less range than 2.4GHz, maybe the signal strength is not enough at the second level. Use the lowest frequency band available, move the base unit to a place less obstructed etc. This does not sound like a device issue.

Yeah, I know, the device issue is that all my other phones, computers and devices are able to connect to the wifi. I enabled the smart wifi and it looks like it's going better, the tablet is able to get better download speed.
