[Q] Is it possible to set a preferred WiFi frequency band?

Recently I installed a dual band router. After flashing the latest dd-wrt version for this model (a D-Link DIR-825) I set a wireless network with identical SSID's for both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios. I found that with Intel wlan adapters in laptops it's possible to choose a preferred frequency band. With an overused 2.4 GHz band in the neighborhood here it's nice to switch to 5 GHz when possible.
Is this also possible with Android? The phone connects just fine on 5 GHz. However after connecting to 2.4 GHz when the 5 GHz access point is out of range it won't reconnect to 5 GHz when the AP is back within range.
I know I could give different names to both wlan networks and give the 5 GHz network a higher priority in the phone. This seems a bit like a dirty trick however. Any ideas?

Goto the WiFi settings and hit the menu then goto advanced. You can choose 5ghz only from there.

I don't want 5 GHz only. I just want to set 5 GHz as the preferred band when both are available.

Rename both 2.4GHz and 5GHz access points, then advance WiFi > WiFi priority then shift the 5GHz band above the 2.4GHz band..

Dual Wifi? 2,4GHz and 5GHz at the same time?

Hi, Can RN8pro connect on two Wifi bands at the same time? It should support dual band, but in some review is was not working.
And what maximum speeds do you have on wifi connection?

Not at the same time, I've had many phones with 2.4 and 5ghz and none have supported both conections at the same time, my speed for the 2.4ghz my RN8Pro gets a link of 86mbps, and for the 5ghz network the link is 433mbps, but I don't know if the 433mbps is the max speed that the phone allows or if the router is the one that is limiting my connection.
EDIT: However if you configure your 2.4ghz&5ghz networks with the same SSID and password in the router, when you connect to the wifi, your phone based in the signal will switch between 2.4 and 5ghz automatically.

Well Realme phones can connest on more bands of same wifi. RN8pro should be also able, but on TechTablets sad that i was not possible for some reason. I am asking if anything change with new ROM?
RN8pro shoul have also X antenas for wifi and some other tools.

In reviews, it was stated that the note 8 pro was able to connect 2 wifi connections at once. Is that true and how do you do you that?

wifi speed reduces when bluetooth connected in redmi note 8 pro.. help

i am using redmi note 8 pro indian varient. as soon as bluetooth connected, wifi speed reduces. i found that its because of both using 2.4 ghz frequency. how do i change the wifi band or is there any other solution.. help

The phone will switch to 5GHz automatically if your router supports it, if it doesn't you'll have no way of switching it.
(Also using 5GHz only will reduce the WI-FI range)

how can i hotspot as 2.4 ghz from 5 ghz ?

I'm thinking of using my phone as a wifi repeater to use my pc. The wifi I get from the modem is 5ghz. When I make a hotspot from the phone, the wifi adapter connected to my pc does not see 5 ghz networks. Can I share this internet as 2.4 ghz from the phone?

I just realized that you can't change to 5Ghz unless you share it from your own mobile data. But i been trying something but doesn't really sure that it's working or not, the first things is you have to set your wifi from mobile data as 5Ghz then you can connect your n8p from your 5ghz router, here as my attachement in poco F4 says that my note 8 pro broadcasting 5ghz
