I don't why Moto banned 5Ghz wifi on G8 family. This is really a stupid decision. But our wifi chip is wcn3390, I'm 100% sure our hardware supports 5Ghz.
Here I provide a method to unlock it on custom ROMs. Because I'm not sure if vendor_overlay could work on Official firmware.
You only need to flash Magisk module, it works on both stock and custom ROMs now.
Step 1 Mount product partition
flash twrp and boot into it. Mount product partition in Mount menu.
Then connect to your PC, run this adb command to make product partition writable.
Step 2 Create floder
Run these adb commonds:
Step 3 Push custom wlan config
Download the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.zip provided by me, unzip it, then copy WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini to the adb tool root floder.
Run these adb commonds:
Reboot, I think you already unlocked the 5Ghz wifi bands, you could enjoy 433Mbps speed now.
Also provide a kernel which built-in upsteam qcom wifi kernel drivers. But this is not necessary. You could replace it with anykernel or AIK.
You only need to flash Magisk module, it works on both stock and custom ROMs now.
Then connect to your PC, run this adb command to make product partition writable.
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /product
Run these adb commonds:
Code:
adb shell mkdir /product/vendor_overlay/29/etc/wifi
adb shell chmod -R 755 /product/vendor_overlay/29/etc/wifi
Download the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.zip provided by me, unzip it, then copy WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini to the adb tool root floder.
Run these adb commonds:
Code:
adb push WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini /product/vendor_overlay/29/etc/wifi/
adb shell chmod -R 644 /product/vendor_overlay/29/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Reboot, I think you already unlocked the 5Ghz wifi bands, you could enjoy 433Mbps speed now.
