ROG 2 doesn't differentiate 2.4ghz and 5ghz?

[mr_strange]

My Rog phone 2 is connecting to 2.4Ghz bandwidth instead of 5Ghz . Can't the phone differentiate between 2.4 and 5Ghz? A 10k Mi note 5 pro is able to connect to 5ghz and my Oneplus 5t is able to connect. Why can't this gaming phone with 4 WiFi antennas connect to the fastest one?
I use 2.4 in my room as the router is in my hall and 5GHz doesn't have coverage in my room. But when I come to hall and turnoff wifi and turn it on, it still connects to 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz.

There really seems to be nothing wrong here.

5GHz isnt specifically better, as you have also expressed, even saying so far as you dont get coverage in a particular room.

The device prioritises the connection it had - and if the signal is not weak below a certain threshhold it would remain on it.

5GHz isn't better? Wow. I couldn't get more than 62 mbps in 2.4GHz whereas i get 380 mbps in 5GHz. I don't understand how it isn't better! And for your information, other phones I have connect to 5GHz when i turn off and turn on wifi again. Whereas my ROG 2 doesn't. So I think something's wrong here

This is why I name 2.4 /5 Ghz with different names.

Speed is only one parameter to consider, signal strength is another. You'll know that 2.4 GHz provides coverage at a longer range than 5 GHz, which might have the effect that your 2.4 GHz connection is considered more stable even when you pass your hallway.

But I'm literally in front of the router,so both the bandwidth will have the same signal strength

It seems like you don't know how signals work i guess? If you are in front of a router, the other one of course will be further away (doesn't it?). Since THE phone prioritize more stable connection it decides to connect to the one that it think it is better to be connected. And, a phone will connect to a wifi that is mainly used more.

It's like talking to a fish trying to ask their name.
