[Q] Turn of the 2.4GHz band for WIFI

[Fritte_SWE]

Hi,

I have a really annoying issue and thats the missing option to turn of the 2.4GHz band. Corporate network usually broadcast all bands on the same SSID and I cant select whether I want to use the 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ band.

How can I go about changing this?
Heres a thread for the Samsung S3 that lost the same setting just to clarify what I need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-wifi-band-switcher-switch-2-4ghz-5-t1891970

I'm using a rooted stock rom.

And don't suggest changing the "router" setting since were not talking about routers here, were talking Cisco APS on large corporations where they are broadcasting on the same SSID. And I'm looking for a mod to the phone so I can turn of the 2.4GHz band to verify I only can use the 5GHz band.

I think this was present somewhere prior to the Lollipop update.

So please help, Its just amazing to see that noone have had this request before since this is a network setting applied to most large corporations and in areas where the 2.4GHz bands are clogged with signals you need to force 5GHz... I have seen the request for other platforms but not the LG G3.

Go select advanced settings and select WiFi frequency.

What about you change your ROM? I'm using 5.1.1 and it has that option.

I would lpve to use another rom but from what i read there isnt any that can make the camera work to its full potential.

But ill try that app tomorrow and see how it works once it detexts multiple AP's and multiple bands on the same SSID.

There were no settings in that app that prevents my phone from using 2.4GHz network. It was just basically saying how many APs there were on the current network and a setting to chose the one with best signal. 2.4GHz usually have better signal since that frequency penetrates material better then 5GHz and I want 5GHz only to try.

I am using Cyanogen ROM, and they have that option to select AUTO, 2.4 or 5.

STOCK ROM doesn't....=(

Thats exactly what I want. I would love to run Cyanogen but everyone says the camera cant deliver as LG stock. But you would think its not that hard to add the feature since its present everywhere except most stock ROMs. Seems like more manufacturers then LG removed the option when updates came to stock ROMs.
