Cannot find/connect to 5Ghz Hotspot - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I cannot connect to my Mate 9's hotspot with my Macbook Pro 2016 on 5Ghz,
tried all channels, I cannot see the SSID or find it in any way to connect to it, manual connection also doesn't work.
Also tried Wi-fi analyzer and selected suggested channels that my Macbook can connect to.
When I try 2.4Ghz it's fine and there is no issue.
Does any one have any issues using 5Ghz Hotspot?
MHA-L29

I connect at 5GHz on my home router. I had trouble connecting to the higher channels in the DFS/TPC range (124, 128) but works fine on channel 36.
I did hotspot from my Mate 9 to my MacBook Air 6,1 and it worked, but granted I did use 2.4GHz at the time. I can test later again when I'm back home.
FYI I have done a quick test (5GHz , 36) on my Dell E6440 laptop and it worked.

Thank you for that, Governa :good:
I tried again (5GHz, 36) and still can't see it or connect to it manually.
Changed network name as well, also tried other channels again

My only 5GHz devices are "Mate 9" and "Macbook Pro" so I'm not sure which one has issue or how else to test this :crying:
I also created a 5GHz Network on Macbook but cannot See it or connect to it on Mate 9 as well.
Does any one have any ideas of what can I do here?

You can try resetting your network settings and giving it another shot.
Settings > Advanced Settings > Backup and Reset > Reset network settings
Also remove your Mate 9 from the list of known WiFi networks under OSX.
Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced... > select your Mate 9 > click the minus > confirm Remove > click OK or choose Apply if asked

Thank you, so this isn't global and either my Mate 9 or Macbook (or both) have some kind of issue on 5GHz.
Does any one know how can I check which isn't working without buying another 5GHz device?

What's your MacBook build and OSX version? Under System Report > Network > Wi-Fi what are the Supported Channels? If you have anything above 13 it supports 5GHz, otherwise it doesn't.
Are you running Windows under Boot Camp? If so have you tested it there?

I fixed the typo mistake in initial post, here is full info:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016) macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (No Boot Camp)
Supported Channels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 144, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165
Huawei Mate 9 MHA-L29 Updated to Patch 2: MHA-L29C185B138
I'm still working on it and made some progress on my side when I got 2 Wifi Scanners on both devices.
When I create a 5GHz network in Macbook, I CAN see it on Mate 9's Wifi Scanner app (PingTools Pro):
i.imgur.com/7lsTJAQ.jpg
But when I enable 5GHz Hotspot on Mate 9, nothing is detected by Mac Wifi Scanner (WiFi Explorer):
i.imgur.com/GUc64ds.png
EDIT:
I can now connect to 5GHz network created by Macbook Pro with my Mate 9
I enabled Internet sharing on Macbook which created a network on Channel 36 and I can connect to it with Mate 9 without any issues (previously I had created computer-to-computer network with Macbook).
So my Macbook can create 5GHz networks without issue, and my Mate 9 can connect to them without issue, but not vise versa!!!?
I'm so confused

Same issue here QAQ
I'm using Huawei mate 9 pro and since last update I can't find and connect to my 5GHz hotspot but 2.4GHz works just fine.

As I mentioned before, I had trouble connecting to the higher channels in the DFS/TPC range (124, 128) but works fine on channel 36. I'm also on fw B156.
Give it a shot in the lower channels.

For all it's worth it works fine on my D-Link DIR-825 running DD-WRT. If your router can run DD-WRT I would give that a try. I can share my settings with you.

I guess the question would be, do these devices actually support 5GHz? Wireless N

I had fixed the problem by switching the second sim on/off and the problem solved! I had no idea what happened and it seems to be a bug.

Infinity cannot see N netowrks

I was just curious if anyone else is having (or heard of) an issue like this? I have tried on three different wireless N networks, and it will not see them. I have tried manually adding them as well and it always says out of range. It is almost as if the N radio isnt working. I can connect to b/g networks fine. I also know that the wireless N networks are functioning properly as I can connect other devices to them. Do I need to enable the N radio in the tablet somehow? I havent seen any threads about this, so I am guessing that its just me.
The router has to be on 2.4/5Ghz mixed mode, Unfortunately the infinity can't se 5GHz networks. Yes I agree its dumb that a $500-600 device can't use 5GHz

got ya, and yeah that does suck. the main router I use is a dual mode asus rt-n66u, so it has the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks separated. pretty disappointing that it cant use 5ghz. oh well, thanks for the info.

usually you can set which bands and specs will be used. you can still connect your infinity via n as long as you have your router configured with 2.4ghz and n. most dual mode routers will allow this.

yeah its connected N on 2.4ghz. I had a brain fart and meant 5ghz when I stated that I couldnt see the N network. thanks again.
I know we cant use 5ghz but why? Would it be a software issue or a hardware issue.

I'm on a N network so this is not true.
I only broadcast my home wireless network in N for highest wireless performance. All of my somewhat aged wifi devices that include a 2006 Dell XPS notebook with DraftN, a Nintendo DSi, Blackberry Playbook, and of course the Infinity all connect to a 802.11n hotspot I broadcast with two Belkin N150s. Even the Transformer Prime connected to the N.
The only wifi device I own that does not connect to N is my HTC Evo 4G phone. It sees it but fails to connect.
OP if I were you I'd recheck your wireless router settings, maybe you have MAC filtering enabled.

5GHz networking

Has anyone had trouble with connecting to 5GHz networks with the 2012 GT8010?
I've been unable to. I can see the network but always get authentication issues. This occurred with the original 4.1.2 rooms and now with omnirom after a full reset
My other devices such as a laptop and s4 have no issues...
2.4GHz is just fine even to the same router with the same security settings. Disabling security., dropping g down from ac to a doesn't help nor does switching channel

I have not had any problems personally. I'm running stock not rooted. I have heard other guys having problems though. Sorry I can't help
If you're rooted (or even just have a custom recovery) check here. Turns out that the wrong WiFi config file is being used in US-based units so 5GHz DFS channels won't always work.

thanks. interesting to see if I have issues in those files, but I am actually in the UK in any case.
I tried copying the *mfg* file to *txt* - manufacturing? default perhaps? this had cc=ALL instead of UK, but I figured why not
No difference.....
So followup question - could any UK users post their files from /system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt*

Does anyone ever got more than 150 mbps rate ? I mean the connection rate between the tablet and router, not some speed test result. On 5Ghz I get 150, on 2.4GHz no more than 72 mbps. I tried 3 different routers, never got more then 150 mbps, and 60 up/60 down in speed tests.

No, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's intentionally set via the WiFi firmware; the WiFi chip is connected to the Exynos via a 50MHz bus that's 4 bits wide, so your effective thruput wouldn't ever be higher than ~180Mbit/sec anyway.

[Q] Not connecting to AC wireless 5GHz

I've tried searching for this but haven't found anything. Apologies if I am doubling up though.
Anyway:
I recently got a router that can broadcast a 5GHz AC wireless channel. I set it up and got my wife's phone to connect to the 5GHz channel perfectly fine, but my OnePlus One will not even see the channel.
Weirdly though, if I switch the OPO to detect 5GHz bands only, it picks up my neighbours ac wireless, but still won't connect to mine. I've entered the details manually with no luck at all as well.
The SSID's are completely different.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm runnning Cyanogen OS 12 (12.0-YNG1TAS2I3)
phone is also rooted with TWRP 2.8.7.0

I changed the channels with no luck. It seems to refuse to connect to just my router.
So if anyone looks this up because they also had this problem: I fixed it.
Turns out this was a problem with the ROM. I switched to the CM nightly builds and it connected to my AC wireless channel fine. It also allowed me to send and receive MMS messages again, so there was clearly just something wrong with my build of CyanogenOS.

Can't see and connect to the wifi 5ghz

Hi all,
I need your help. My mate 9 is mha-al00c00 model and use the last update b173. It cannot to detect wifi 5ghz of tp link wdr8500. The range channel of this router is between 149 and 165. How could we change the wifi country code on the root of android 7.0? Someone has the same issue.
Thanks
Try the lower channels (36-64). Fixed it for me.

These channels 149 and 165 have fixed by the tp link factory. I cant try the lower channels
That would be the most absurd thing I've ever heard. What model is it?

Could we open all channels on mate9 to see wifi 5ghz?
In a 5ghz, i cant try channel between 36 and 48. I think i have one problem with the current firmware under dfs channels. Could we try manually to change a channel on mate 9?

The 5GHz channels for WiFi are not standard across the world. Some countries use part of that frequency band for other purposes including government services. That's why WiFi routers and phones sold in some regions have certain channels locked out.
If you import the router and phone from different regions then you could find they can only talk to each other on a limited number of channels. There are ways to overcome this, but you might then find you are using channels that are not permitted in your country and/or suffer from interference.

Up until B126 my Mate 9 was working fine at the higher 5.0GHz frequencies. It started giving me trouble when B138 came out so I simply dropped to a lower channel and that did the trick.
Have you checked if DD-WRT runs on that router?

My mate 8 was choking on 2.4 ghz... and i found your answer. i got my phone from china and i switched on my router on 5G that was seen for everyone (channel 40 - for europe and my mate from china...). Finally my mate has seen 5g network... and it is blazing storm fast now!
finally i can be happy having around 100 mbps instead of 30 mbps.
Ty mate for this link, it was so obvious but i dont have enough knowledge to see what is up with this wifi channels!
Hello,
I there is someone out there can help me.
My mate 8 can see my network 5ghz but no way it can connect to it. My other devices, laptop, Fever smartphone have no problem to use that frequency.
Thanks

I know the chances are slim, but if the laptops are older, they may not have a 5ghz wifi card. How old are the laptops? Any chance you could try with a usb wifi dongle and see if it works on that.
