Honor 10 only connects to 5Ghz wifi after boot, then only connects to 2.4Ghz

Hi everyone,

I have recently installed a Unify AP in the house. This AP allows me to see what devices are connected and at what speed. I noticed that my Honor 10 seems to be always connected to 2.4Ghz band and not to 5Ghz. I tried restarting the phone, after which the Honor 10 did connect to 5 Ghz, so I know it is capable of doing so. However, when I walk around the house, it switches back to 2.4 Ghz.

I understand that 2.4Ghz has a longer range, but when I am close to the AP, it would be nice to have 5Ghz connection.

Does anyone have the same issue or knows how to fix it?

I never had problems with 2.4 / 5gHz in honor 10. Are they showed as two Wi-Fi access points? Maybe the production of EMUI did not put much effort into Wi-Fi networks at different frequencies... If they're 2 separate Wi-Fi points you should be able to select one and connect. But I guess constantly switching from 2.4 to 5 without user interaction It could cause problems, e.g. delay in changing the network at an important moment

I guess for some reason it just prefers the 2.4 gHz

AP set to 5Ghz preferred

I set my AP to prefer the 5Ghz frequence. I do not have my wifi set as separate access points. They have the same SSID and passwords, but that should not matter.

Hi,

I recently installed a Unify AP network in the house and seeing the same issue. Honor 10 will connect to 5ghz if you choose a '5ghz only' SSID but if it's a dual SSID then the Honor 10 will always choose 2.4ghz. Other devices on the network don't have an issue and connect to 5ghz fine.

Did you ever figure out a solution?

Thanks
