can't find all 5GHz wifi networks?

[swa100]

Hey all,

I can only find 1/10 of the 5GHz wifi networks. Does anyone else have this issue?

Greets,

I've tried it with 4 other galaxy s6's now and all of them can find only 1 5ghz network in my building, whilst all the routers are the same. Other phones like n5 or galaxy s4 work on all the 5ghz routers.what is up with the wifi chip in the galaxy s6?

The problem seems to be that the galaxy s6 only works on 5ghz networks that are on channel 36. How is 5ghz wifi working for you guys?

FWiW, my S6 connects to my Netgear Extender on 5G ch 153, extending the range of my new Comcast 5G/2.4G Arris modem-router, also to my SM-P605V and this tablet. The Arris router is now on 5G default ch 36, but I see no reason to move it. 5G is empty here. I did move the 2.4G channel to get away from some neighbors. I use the WiFi Analyzer app to sniff the neighborhood 2.4G before picking the channels I want to use. HTH. YMMV.
