[Q] Nexus 4 does not connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi network

[tykate]

Hi,

I have both a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz Wi-Fi network, but for some reason my Nexus 4 can't find my 5GHz network. Anyone know of any solutions? I'm running Android 5.0.1 stock.

Under advanced in wifi settings change the wifi frequency to 5ghz and see if you can see your network

Hmm, still wasn't able to get it to work.. I've reset both my modem and my router as well, no luck.

This might be a lollipop issue, as i remember reading somewhere that lollipop has issues with 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. If you are willing, you can try downgrading to 4.4.4 KitKat and giving it a shot.
