Hey,
I just want to ask if anyone has more info about the DS with 5Ghz wifi networks.
I tried to find my 5Ghz wifi but nothing appeared, I'm currently on ICE DS 4.4 .
According to the product sheet from Broadcom the bcm4329 should support 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz band.
Do I need an other firmware for it or doesn't the bcm4329 in the DS simply support it?
I've also tried this firmware mentioned in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31045117&postcount=605)
Well... the question itself is the title.
Does it have?
I know Snapdragon Galaxy S7 (sold in USA) has this option (even on Android 6).
I just can't understand why Samsung took this option out of Exynos galaxies.
PS: I'm asking this because Samsung from my country hasn't roll out the update yet =/ .
BTW: Without rooting S7, is it possible to have these options in native hotspot config (if the above answer is no)?
I see no option to switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and there is no channel select for wireless hotspot

Damn it!
Is there a way to get this available in official rom?
Or this is only possible for those who has Snapdragon chipset?
I got an unlimited LTE mobile-data plan and 5Ghz is a must, if you know what I mean.
Hello.
I an having an issue with my sm-g955fd phone. I need to use the 5ghz frecuency for wifi and I can't seem to make it work. Flashed Renovate Ice 9.5 and tried many different csc's but none enables 5ghz wifi. If anyone could point me to which custom rom to flash or csc to try. I would be most greatful forever.
Thanks in advance.

How's 5ghz work when on stock OS?
Does it support the 5ghz wifi (hardware wise)?
I know most devices are still on the 2.5 or 2.4 (don't know exactly which).

Yes of course it does. All Samsung phones have used 5GHz for years.
If there is a problem getting an S8 to work then it's either a (rare) fault, or due to the custom ROM.

5ghz didnt work either on stock rom. That's why i first tried changing it to a custom rom.

I think so. But i may be wrong. The model is sm-g955fd. How can I tell if the hardware supports 5ghz?

All S8/S8+ variants include support for 5 GHz WiFi. Are you sure you have properly set up your AP? Does the 5G connection work with some of your other devices? Try getting closer to the AP. If it does not work by then, it is likely a hardware fault.

I have tried with different devices and AP's. The phone doesnt pick the ssid of any of them.

As others have stated Samsung phones and other makes of high end phones have supported
2.4GHz and 5GHz wi fi for several years.
Although I wouldn't expect your problem to be caused by a custom Rom else other users of the ROM would likely have reported the problem , I would suggest putting a standard official Samsung rom on your phone at least until you get your wi fi functionality.
I would suggest a free play store app like wi fi analyser to easily determine which wi fi signals are seen by your S8+
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
Also be aware when you do get 5GHz working you will notice higher data bandwidth than with 2.4Ghz but less range from your router to your phone before signal drop out.

I did some research and on gsmarena I found that Galaxy S8+ uses the Wi-Fi 802.11 (https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s8+-8523.php)
Went on Wikipedia and it seems that this 802.11 support communication in the 900 MHz and 2.4, 3.6, 5, and 60 GHz frequency bands. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11)
Also, I checked my home network and the router is working both on 2.4 and 5, however, the 5 (which is set as another network) can't be used y any device (no laptop or smartphone).
I don't want to create confusion here, but it seems this 5ghz frequency is not as usual as the 2.4 one. And by checking my Internet connection speed on the 2.4ghz frequncy, it looks like there is no advantage of using the 5 frequency (my Internet speed on wifi is close to the Internet speed via Lan cable).

802.11 has a large number of subcategories
802.11a
802.11b
802.11n
802.11ac
and a vast number of others.
These have different frequency allocations and different channel bandwidth.
I could have explained better that in some cases 2.4Ghz will give adequate throughput (at or close to your internet speed)
802.11g is a 2.4Ghz standard with maximum of 54Mbps
However if internet speed is much higher as in my case then I get benefits from using
802.11ac 5GHz standard with single link bandwidth up to 500Mbps.
I would agree that wi fi using 5GHz probably not as common usage as 2.4Ghz which can have additional benefits as less potential for interference from nearby wi fi that uses same frequency range

I use 5G all the time..have high speed internet so see big diff. Since you say none of your devices can connect to 5G, you should play around with channel used..know there is a diff between US and Europe and channels used.
If you see same speed from reg wifi and hardwired lan line..5G will not make a diff.
Thanks to everyone i deffinitely cant get it to work. The reason I need 5ghz is cause i am using a slinstudio device wich works only on 5ghz frecuency and i cant connect to it. So i tried other 5ghz networks and found that i cant connect either. I guess i will have to change phones or something but its a shame i cant get it to work.
Another potential solution is to check your router's IP blocklist. I had the S7 Edge and now the S9+ and apparently the phone may spam the router with UDP requests making the router think you are performing a DDOS attack. Clearing the IP your phone is using from the block list may resolve the issue.
S8 on 5ghz WiFi
To get your device to run on 5ghz WiFi all you need to do is ...
Open WiFi connections ...
Add new network ...
Type out your SSID followed by a (space) and the number 2 ...
So ... if your SSID is homeWiFi ... you need to add homeWiFi 2 ... the pass key is the same and won't need changing

Your router is likely using a channel assignment that isn't available to your client devices, check the ETSI standards for acceptable use on the 5GHz band if you're in Europe.

Hi I got realme 5 pro 8gb variant 2 days ago as per specs it supports dual-band wifi 5ghz but it is not detecting my 5ghz wifi from the router. can someone please help me with this?
I tried to change the channel but in vain. That 5ghz wifi is shown on my laptop but not on phone.
Almost the same happens with my Realme Q. When I share hotspot on 2.4 GHz every device detects it and is able to connect. When I share 5 GHz mobile devices won't see it neither does my old Desktop PC that has wifi adapter.

Yeah its really sad for me because i got a new 5Ghz Router then i thought my internet will be stable as there are many 2.4Ghz wifi devices in my neighborhood so i decided to move to dual-band to get rid of disconnections and unstable speed

I think the issue has something to do with antenna of the device and which bands does it support. Perhaps? I'm sure they use different bands in china and different lte/4g/wifi technologies there than someplace else, other countries in the world.
Hello All,
I have Realme X2 Pro. I can connect to my 5GHz home wifi. But I am not able to create a 5GHz hotspot from the phone ....very frustrating.
I got a realme 5 pro 8gb and it its detecting my 5ghz wifi
Check and try change your Channel WIFI 5G and Setting Region...some region can accesss Limit Channel WIFI...I have same Problem but now Detect after Change my Channel WIFI 5G.
my R5Pro have the same problem, but when i change settings channel at my dlink router, the problem is solved. I change to chanel 149.
Hey, so I'm trying to switch from 2.4Ghz to 5Ghz band for my mobile hotspot. The problem is that not a single phone seems to recognise the network. The phones do support 5Ghz networks, so I believe the problem has to do with the broadcast channel that my A52 utilises. Does anyone have an idea? Your assistance will be truly appreciated.
Bump.
