How to Change Wifi Frequency on Android?
Contents

If you wish, you can force your Android device to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots using the speedier 5 GHz frequency band.

Tap Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the three-dot overflow icon, then tap Advanced > Wi-Fi Frequency Band.

Now, pick a band: either 2.4GHz (slower, but longer range) or 5GHz (faster, but shorter range).

How do I change my WIFI frequency?

The frequency band is changed directly on the router:

  • Enter the IP address 192.168.0.1 in your Internet browser.
  • Leave the user field empty and use admin as the password.
  • Select Wireless from the menu.
  • In the 802.11 band selection field, you can select 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
  • Click on Apply to save the Settings.

How do I change my 2.4 GHz to 5GHz?

To set this up, follow these steps:

  1. Open your web browser on a device connected to the Hub and go to bthomehub.home.
  2. Click on Advanced Settings and enter your Hub admin password when prompted.
  3. Click on Continue to Advanced Settings.
  4. Click on Wireless.
  5. Click on 5GHz.
  6. Change ‘Sync with 2.4 Ghz’ to No.
