scubascuba3 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I use my note 9 as a kinda TV box, and cast to TV. I just got 3BB fibre installed so wanted to connect to 5ghz rather than 2.4ghz, but it wouldn't show it. Tried many things per youtube in the end the setting that solved it was to change region to India of all places. Anyone find an alternate way to fix it? or has Xiaomi tried to block it using Thailand as a region? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marin Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Is the Note 9 5g compatible? My Note 13 connects easily and shows both 2.4 and 5g. Good luck, I got conflicting answers googling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, I got conflicting answers googling. It's not 5G but i don't think that's the same as wifi 5ghz. I have the Note 12 5G and that sees both 2.4 and 5ghz. I'm currently getting speeds of 200+ on 5ghz Note 12 5G and 150+ on 5ghz Note 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a question of how it is configured by whoever installed that box. If you have the knowledge and the username/password, then look at the "router" settings.

treetops Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I have a Redmi Note 10 and recently changed my SIM Router to one that has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels. The Note 10 often doesn't "see" the 5GHz channel for a minute or two when enabling Wifi, but if I keep refreshing the list it eventually appears and connects without issue. I know the 5GHz channel is working as I can be using it on my laptop at the same time as the mobile can't see it. Not exactly the same issue as the OP but backs up the notion that something is amiss with Note mobiles and 5GHz connections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The installer changed the name so it is definitely there plus i can see it as my Note 12 can see both 2.4 and 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might find that changing the region to India would fix your delay issue. I also did the "forget network" 2.4 ghz wifi so now it goes straight in to the 5 without delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also "forgot" the 2.4GHz network so it doesn't latch on to it every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into settings and at the top search bar type Region, may get two options, mine is the second one, select India Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
