Anyone Know How to Change the WiFi Frequency from 2.4 GHz to 5.8 GHz? On Action Cam 5

My phone allows connections with 5.8 WiFi. I have updated the software and already reset the WiFi connection several times, but it still doesn’t let me pick the 5.8. I’m living in Japan, but the camera was brought in China. Somebody told me that could be something about the region. Anyways, any information or way to solve it I would appreciate a lot :slight_smile:

I think the WiFi it is connected to now is 2.4 GHz. Maybe when you disconnect, you will have that option.

Now it’s not connected to any device :frowning: and when I connect to my phone, it’s still not able.

@Adi
Does your phone emit its own WiFi at 5.8 GHz? Why do you want or need to connect to 5.8 GHz? It’s fine as it is. Probably your phone only emits its own WiFi @2.4 GHz. If you connect to a router that allows 2.4/5.8, then you may choose what connection you want. You can only connect to 5.8 if the device actually has 5.8. Phones usually do not offer that connection.

I mean the one that emits the WiFi is the camera. It’s basically to transfer videos faster. I am not really sure if my phone emits 5.8.

Both your phone and camera emit WiFi. If they both support 5 GHz, then you should be able to do it. If your phone does not have 5.8, then it will not show the option. You are fine as you are; you do not need 5.8. Anyways, try changing the connection type when it’s disconnected and then try reconnecting. If there is a 5.8 connection available, it should take that one.

FYI 5.8 GHz is banned in Japan, at least for outdoor use, afaik. Not sure if it is stated in the camera manual, but it indeed does state that in DJI drone manuals.

Region issue. I can’t enable 6Ghz hotspots here in Canada on my Pixel devices

I am not sure. Mine is on 5.8 automatically. Maybe factory reset?

Thanks everyone for the replies and the support :slight_smile:

Proper English.

No idea why. I learned English along with my other first tongue; English is a weird bastard amalgamation language, many rules are arbitrary.
