Xperia X and 5Ghz tethering [help]

as the subject says, I noticed that Xperia X is capable of 5GHz wifi but when I enable tethering it trasmits only on 2.4GHz and single channel, limiting the wifi link speed to 72 megabit.

I use the tethering in crowded places, so I would like to have 5GHz wifi (maybe as only frequency, but dual 2.4 and 5 would be okay too).

Does anyone know how to do so? If not in sailfish, at least in android? (android lacks this as well, I read that some samsung do have the option to select 5GHz for tethering, maybe it's a samsung customization)

Thank you
