I recently bought a dual-band Linksys Archer A5 in Germany which only shows bands 36-64 in settings. Only my old Asus Padfone X (unlocked AT&T model) connects to the 5GHZ band. My Nex S (global), Huawei P10 and my son's P9 Plus don't even see it. But my Mi Mix 2 (chinese rom) sees it but won't connect and when I force it, it won't reconnect automatically. Even the WiFi Analyzer app doesn't see it on those phones. But my two Chinese TV boxes and my Lenovo tablet (US model) connect automatically.
Any ideas or a workaround? Any help is much appreciated.

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?

I'm curious if you ever found an answer to your question. I obviously prefer my 5gzh signal when I'm within range. I am looking to purchase one of these phones very soon.
My Blade V8 Pro connects to 5GHz WiFi without any issues (Linksys E6400 router).
it works

just change the channel in the router, ch 48 in band 5gHz works for me
make sure your router is in a supported channel. as stated above. the channels it supports is not as wide as some of the routers out there.
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
Hello. I recently bought a refurbished LG G710N. It had a Korea Telekom firmware intalled with lots of bloatware. Before crossflashing to an european firmware, I noticed that it did not want to connect to the lte band 7 which Orange is using for 4G+ ( I live in Romania). It can only connect to band 3, no matter where I am. I am getting around 60 mbps tops, whereas my older phones can get to 150-200 mbps easily. Now, on the european firmware....same thing. I played a bit in the service menu, but none of the settings stick, you go back and they're gone. Also, I noticed that the native call record button is gone. Any idea how to bring that back ? Thank you.
