Nexus Play will not connect to 5ghz N network

[jerflash]

I have my Nexus player booted up not but for some reason it will not connect to my 5ghz network.

I have a 2.4ghz and a 5ghz network running on my router. phones and tablets can use the 5ghz just fine but the nexus player refuses to connect. Even when i input all settings manually it just wont connect. Works perfect on the 2.4ghz but since the player just right next to the wireless router i figured 5ghz would be much better...

Anyone else having this issue?

Issue fixed itself...must be a bug because it would not work then it did by its self 10 minutes later

I set mine up to connect to our 2.4GHz and never made any attempt to connect to the 5GHz; a while later I came back to it and saw it'd connected to the 5GHz on its own. I think maybe it gets your Wi-Fi settings from your phone via your Google account or something.

So maybe a dumb question. But mine has been giving me hell dropping WiFi connection all the time. My router is both 2.4 and 5ghz. How would I set the player to connect only to the 2.4???

Change the name of the 5ghz band only. I always keep my bands separate

So just log into my router settings and add separate ssid for 2.4ghz?

Sweet. Thanks for the reply! I would have already tried this but I'm at work. It'll have to wait till I get off.
