Hi All,

is it possible in Sailfish X to select the WiFi HotSpot frequency band (2.4-5GHz)?

Thank you

Raf

The default might be 2.4GHz and no there's no way by GUI. There might be some possibilities in form of patches or scripts. Maybe someone knows

I have been hoping for better router functionality for years. Nice to see that I'm not the only one.

Possibly a duplicate of Xperia X and 5Ghz WiFi tethering

Andorid Oreo+ allows hospot frequency selection. Blackberry OS10 (R.I.P.) allowed hospot frequency selection on Classic, Passport and other TOTL OS10 phones. Sony Experia XA Plus, even if being an 802.11a/b/g/n phone, with Oreo+ does not allow hospot frequency selection, due to Sony customized Android version. Shame on SONY!!!!

Sad to know that even Sailfish X does not unlock 5 GHz hotspot on XA Plus...very sad... (https://together.jolla.com/question/81930/how-do-i-change-the-channel-for-wlan-ap-mode/)

There is no hardware limitations on using the 5GHz band, afaik, at least not on newer devices (X, XA2). Making the software takes some effort that Jolla might not have time for.
