Although the official technical specs of the Jolla phone list only 802.11b/g/n support for WiFi, I was wondering if support for 5 GHz (i.e. 802.11a/n or, even better, 802.11a/n/ac) might be added later (if the SoC actually supports it).

Unfortunately only 802.11 b/g/n over 2.4Ghz is supported.
Is it because the hardware doesn't support it, or is it a software issue? Or even licensing? On TMO I've seen output using a driver which does list the 5GHz band, but it is marked as disabled. I must say, Jolla is much, much faster on WLAN than my N9 ever was, even on crowded 2.4GHz band.

that would be really cool cause everyone is using 2.4Ghz so its very overloaded
