[Q] Galaxy S4 not detecting 5GHz wifi

[flexyneat]

So i have a week old galaxy S4 and everything is fine until i realise that it only sees and connects to my 2.4Ghz SSID. I use a dual-band sitecom WL-309 extreme gaming router. My laptop, ipad and galaxy tab can scan and connect to the 5Ghz SSID. I'm really surprised that a phone that boasts 802.11ac isn't even able to see 5ghz wifi. i recently installed the wifi analyzer app, and it doesn't help, can only still see 2.4.

I recently upgraded my firmware to the indian MEA stock ROM. Dunno if anyone out there has experienced this, help apprectiated.


Thanks

I saw in a post that wifi channel may be the problem, my router has the following 5ghz channel options: auto,36,40,44 and 48. Just tried all and still no joy.
